stood inside my cleanest jacket, jealous and annoyed both
covered in a cloth that's satin as i destroy ghosts
microphone's my past: its littered with what i ask for
falling from the stars to lobbies, i'm going past floors
double time, uncover trouble; you uncover dirt
my past was a prettier angel i'm in love with her
oxygen the fire needs, me and you require each
i could just pretend i'm leaving you but decide peace
knocking out a verse hard, its heat to my cursed art
seats where my fans r sat, flip when the first starts
from being quiet and driven lyrics that delight hard
prophesy vallour and hope making me a bright spark
keep a light beside me flickering, is my mission 4
sipping on a tonic that's mixed, the kisser draws
keep what u want high, tell me this response's mine
live in irresponsible times mark what u want blind
[Chorus: Dylan Yates]
i need you like the sun needs the fire to glow
i need you like the wind needs the air tonight
i need you like the clothes need somebody to push on
i need you like the stars need somebody to glow
[Verse 2: Dylan Yates]
still i remain star, studded and i'm calm though
every second using my body is just a palm stroke
i had a few cigars, making this a fusillade
with my dragoons, adolescence; where the music starred
im far from evil, people target equals
even though im starving sequels ask of me questions I depart with eagles
i profess to offer both, u request to
levitate the mind from launchpads the rest do
sipping something, even Robert wouldn't taste these
reaching 4 the mandibles twice to. replace teeth
fouler then the rage bumping, inside of a stage thump
lick it of the belly and scream, i'm lacing page humps
all i want today is to sit inside my room cold
and block the windows from colouring me in gloom told
so i go through its, you I put it through with
eat my lunch sitting alone listen to music
sissy boys get the money, my thoughts r st. elsewhere
chickens get a lot of me desperation it self cares
just like my pearl wrote, on top of her note twirled
dylans a fiend making my toes curl
from rapping in the mirror, leaving to the earth’s sphere
all the the thoughts contained in my cranium r worse here
and i wanna get it sugar its you i wanna get it with
hopefully i’ll never break, talking to imaginaries
[Chorus: Dylan Yates]
i need you like the sun needs the fire to glow
i need you like the wind needs the air tonight
i need you like the clothes need somebody to push on
i need you like the stars need somebody to glow
[Verse 3: Dylan Yates]
this inevitably leads to me
yates of the passion and I agree fully
i did the whole beat on my album’s window
i say i love you much baby im that symbol
im that guy, instrumental flow levitates
yatestyle lyrical abilities demonstrate
why for why for (i give em what 4)
i fast forward to the end so you see it clear
[Chorus: Dylan Yates]
i need you like the sun needs the fire to glow
i need you like the wind needs the air tonight
i need you like the clothes need somebody to push on
i need you like the stars need somebody to glow
