Antix Baby Babe
[Hook]
Baby babe
Don't let me down
Baby babe
I won't be around
I'm crying for you
There's nothing I can do
It's out of my hands
[Verse 1]
The lights come to life in my eyes and start firing
I'm all alone in this game is what I'm finding
If life's a stage I'm about to get my time
In the spotlight, let's hope it ain't blinding
Breathe deep, let the mic do the legwork
Run crowds, make ‘em bounce‘til their legs hurt
And you can move in the mix with these actors
Big smilers, for the cameras
Soul stealers, yeah these heart breakers
Money makes friends and they all bring shakers
But when the shaking's done, yeah and the lights out
The alcohol's all gone
Get the f..ck outta my house
And when you find yourself alone in this emptiness
In this place of self-loathing resentfulness
And you wonder ”Goddamn how'd it get to this?”
There she is, my girl and I tell her this
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I'm not a man who makes plans very easily
Something about tied down don't agree with me
I've lived my life like a fire in a snow storm
Against the odds, baby moving ‘til I broke dawn
'Til I saw the sun come I'm never done
Putting up a fight and if something never comes
I can say at least well never did I once
Sell my soul to the devil, never once
There's plenty people who love you when you're up
Kick you when you're down, if they stick around
Most are ghosts ‘til the toasts, yup
And when they reappear it's like they're loving you the most
And in the midst of these plastics and transients
My lady ever-present like the ambience
A real human who gets me through the day
So darling all to you I ever say is
[Verse 3]
There's a silence that creeps in violently
The solitude of my soul that keeps finding me
It's the rush of being out on stage and spitting to the crowd to keep them entertained
That keeps me entertained
Keeps me intertwined, I'm delivered to my fate
The fine line that I figure I should take
To deliver on the goals, the dreams for which I'm made
I walk this music, speak with the industry
But ain't nobody in there that even interests me
Tinsel people with hollowed out affections
Every word just shadowed misdirection
(Baby babe) And there she is, a ghost vision one real enough to kiss
I don't have much but all that I can give
I give to you, the reason that I live so
[Hook]
