Out Of Here - Brother Ali[00:00:00]
Okay so it might appear[00:00:43]
To an outsider that you found your way up out of here[00:00:45]
They're saying you died of suicide[00:00:50]
That's the last thing I want to hear[00:00:51]
They tell me that it's hardly fair to blame myself[00:00:53]
What a hell of a cross to bare[00:00:57]
You didn't say it in your letter[00:01:00]
But the fact that I failed you is loud and clear[00:01:02]
Found out the amount of fear[00:01:04]
You would drown when you found yourself naked staring down a mirror[00:01:06]
And partners are supposed to lay the cards bare[00:01:11]
I left you playing solitaire and I promise you that I'm sincere[00:01:14]
If you're looking for some judgment you won't find it here[00:01:17]
Let's be honest here[00:01:20]
I can't say I've never known that kind of despair[00:01:21]
When the clouds appear how's life fair[00:01:23]
I just want to draw you near[00:01:26]
Not to make it about me but how could you check out[00:01:30]
Before you really allowed me a chance to sit down and hear[00:01:33]
I think I would've listened[00:01:36]
Or were you saying it all along and I just missed it[00:01:37]
You sang your swan song we all dismissed it[00:01:40]
Because you filled the room with laughter[00:01:43]
I watched when you thought no one was looking at you[00:01:45]
In hind sight I wonder where your smile went[00:01:48]
When the party ended and you swallowed it[00:01:51]
I saw you swallow it[00:01:56]
Okay so it might appear[00:01:58]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:02:01]
How many cries soak through your disguise[00:02:05]
Before you drown in your silent tears[00:02:07]
Okay so it might appear[00:02:09]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:02:12]
How many times can you fight for your life[00:02:15]
Before you throw that white flag up and volunteer[00:02:17]
Okay so it might appear[00:02:20]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:02:23]
How many cries soak through your disguise[00:02:26]
Before you drown in your silent tears[00:02:28]
Okay so it might appear[00:02:30]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:02:34]
How many times can you fight for your life[00:02:36]
Before you throw that white flag up and volunteer[00:02:38]
I've had car accidents[00:02:42]
Where everything is slow motion no matter how fast it's happening[00:02:43]
Every second that pass stretches so that you can watch it unraveling[00:02:47]
But can't always react to it[00:02:51]
Your whole life might flash before your eyes[00:02:53]
The minute when you transition to the other side[00:02:55]
But what can actually happen in that time[00:02:58]
In between the leaping and the moment you collide[00:03:00]
In between the trigger and the blast[00:03:03]
In between you let go of the wheel and you crash[00:03:05]
In between the moment when you swallow the last pill in the bottle[00:03:08]
Turn out the lights roll the dice on tomorrow[00:03:11]
Is there a moment to reflect can there be regret[00:03:14]
Is there a wait not yet let me reset[00:03:17]
Or is it just too painful to accept[00:03:20]
That maybe death just seemed best[00:03:22]
Okay so it might appear[00:03:24]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:03:28]
If you not winning you can go down swinging[00:03:30]
Even if it doesn't feel like they're fighting fair[00:03:33]
Okay so it might appear[00:03:35]
That you took yourself up out of here[00:03:39]
I'm trying not to resent you[00:03:42]
But you left me defenseless in the life we share[00:03:43]
Every man before me in my FAM died by his own hands[00:03:47]
How am I supposed to understand my own role in the plan[00:03:51]
When nobody who grows old stands a chance[00:03:54]
What about this mysterious dance[00:03:57]
Made you cut the cord to the curtain in advance[00:04:00]
But these are questions I can only ask[00:04:03]
The person looking back in the looking glass[00:04:05]
