Devin Sunshine - Smoke & Mirrors Lyrics

Yeah I've been meditating
I've been workin on my patience
I've been trying to stay gracious
For the places and the faces
That surround me on this trip
Not a fall
But I might slip back to my old ways
Reminisce about some of them old days
And okay I admit
That I have been an addict to this habit
Been blaming it on outside circumstances
But that is it
See I started to bloom, then took a few steps back
My heart and mind under attack
Another trait that I lacked
Another time I stabbed my own self in the back
Self sabotage
Smoke and mirrors looking round like
This a mirage?
Just a youngin' tryna bloom
Another thing I was doomed to do
And just like that felt like my life went ka-kaboom
But I remembered this quote that I once read
I'm glad it popped into my head
Another divine intervention
Another sign that went unread
Another divine intervention
Another sign that went un
Another
Another
Another
And just like constellations, we explode
And we are born again
Yeah just like stars that collapse
We get up and make our own amends
Yeah
Yeah we make our own amends
Yeah
Yeah I think I'm exploding again
And I've been tryna find the words to
Tell you that you mean the most to me
But nothing that's coming outs coming close you see
You been my moon
You been my stars
And with you I've got no guard up
Tryna see just how big you can smile yup
That's the one
Cheesing laughing baby
Brighter than the sun
Brighter than the day before
Brighter than when we had begun
It's love
And it's got me feeling shook in here
I hope you're cool to stick around cause look let's
Make this clear I've been
Meditating
I've been workin on my patience
I've been trying to stay gracious
For the places and the faces
That surround me on this trip
Not a fall
But I might slip back to my old ways
Reminisce about some of them old days
And okay I admit
That I did some things that
Made you feel like shit
Yeah they made me feel like shit too
See that's the thing
Over-connected and I know that it's a blessing but when
One of us is hurting it's both of us it's affecting, yeah
Never believed in the one
Hocus-pocus words that they say
Society's membrane
The web we get caught up in but this
Time it's got me judging things a
Little differently
Got me thinking that you're really meant for me
Like smoke and mirrors
I've been seeing little clearer
And every time the fog drifts away
It's you there
And I say
Just like constellations, we explode
And we are born again
Yeah just like stars that collapse
We get up and we make our own amends
Yeah
Yeah we make our own amends
Yeah I think I'm exploding again
I think I'm exploding again
Yeah
Yeah I think I'm exploding again
I think that I'm exploding again
See music is the only thing that's saved me
Music is the only thing that hasn't f*cking played me
Music is the only thing i'll ever call my baby
Sheesh
I'm gonna end up at the alter
With my microphone and keys
Jeez
It's taking me a second to recuperate
Tryna keep the timer from blowing
But I'm a minute late
Seems the only thing I have goin for me
Is the way I articulate my words
I'll keep singing til the birds
I'll keep rapping til my
Rhymes are heard
Okay ya heard?
Cause my sunshine is a coming
You can take my f*cking word
Dirt under my fingernails
Digging til I get somewhere
Digging til I don't have to rap about gettin somewhere
Digging til i can pay for everything including the air
The fare
The ware and tear
The clothes I wear
Digging til my mind quits thinking bout
How shit is unfair
Digging til I have so much that I can share
Digging til I don't have a care in the world
I'm digging til I get there
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah I think I'm exploding again
