"Boss Fight" lyrics
After the feeling was stolen
And traded off in a scam
There stood the rest of me pointing
At my shadow with my empty hands
I'd sew my head to my shoulders
Now hanging just by a strand
Nearly slipped when from beneath the cliff climbed a better man
And he said
"Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me"
'Cause if I'm letting it go
If I take my sweet time 'til the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our score
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me
And so you better be sure
That the river turn blood if you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat a dead horse
You can't fool me
There he goes, I've heard it all before
(I heard it all before)
Can I grow like a lotus
When I'm in over my head?
To think a drop in the pond could make me fawn
Over the tears I've shed
He said, "Just keep moving forward
But dig your heels in the sand
Have you found any other path you could follow
'Til the bitter end?"
"Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me"
'Cause if I'm letting it go
If I take my sweet time 'til the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our scores
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me
And so you better be sure
That the river turn blood if you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat a dead horse
You can't fool me
There he goes, I've heard it all be—
Hold your peace
Before you preach
And listen for the stranger moving in
All that talk is cheap
Old news to me
I'm playing with my sanity again
But it sure ain't lonely
'Cause if I'm letting it go
If I take my sweet time 'til the weather gets poor
Tough love is gonna settle our scores
Set the swarm free, black fog coming for me (Yeah)
And so you better be sure
That the river turn blood when you lead me off course
No creature wanna beat the dead horse
You can't fool me
There he goes, I've heard it all be—
I heard it all before
Yep, yep, yep
Yep, yep, I've heard it all before
Yep, yep, yep, yep
Yep, yep, I've heard it all before
Yeah
Fuck my sleep debt
Sucking on my teeth
I think I'll punch in on this beat
'Til I'm sore, yeah, yep
There ain't no number that could bastardize this shit
Bores me sick, I've heard it all before
"Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me
Don't you ever see the world I see?
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me"
And traded off in a scam
There stood the rest of me pointing
At my shadow with my empty hands
I'd sew my head to my shoulders
Now hanging just by a strand
Nearly slipped when from beneath the cliff climbed a better man
And he said
"Boy, you've never seen the world I see
I've been cursed, but
For better or worse, I don't wanna take it off of me"

If I take my sweet time 'til the weather gets poor
