Flicker

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

Yeah I been drinkin', You already know

Do I smell like escape, Probably so

I found your tape in my old collection

Put it in pushed play then I poured a fresh one

I look back with a hesitant laugh

But in reality it's dark down memory ave

All the trials and suffering we shared with each other

A lot of people thought that we were actually brothers

You know me, you know I'm a control freak

Who told you, you could die before me?

Gone, another dog lost to the wild

I feel like a snot-nosed child

And when I hear your Smile

Its outlined in sadness

You poked holes in the magic

You taught jokes to the clowns

That never learned how

To appreciate the lights

Before the bulbs burned out

Flicker

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

Yeah, I been thinking, You already know

Do I sound frustrated? Probably so

Sometimes I feel guilty, I was out on the road

If I'da seen where it was going I'da stopped the whole show

I realize it ain't realistic

I keep tryna make the pieces fit with

The info presented

I felt resentment

I held this against myself

I wanna help my friend

It stays in my head

That I was on a stage when you were laying in bed

Body was discovered by your own mother

It penetrates my chest, I still taste the regret

That I slept through a late night call from your homie

But then I spoke with Siddiq the next morning

And then I smoked one million cigarettes

Go figure, maybe I was tryna catch up with ya

Flicker

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

Yeah I been sinkin' , you already know

Do I look exhausted? Probably so

I don't get much sleep

I'm not sick, I'm fine

I'm just tryna make the most of this limited time

And I'm missing you but I ain't gonna lie

The distance grew between Eye and I

And at the end, even though we didn't speak enough

You were easily one of the best people I've loved

Now I'm tryna write a song for a dead songwriter

That wrote they own songs about life and death

And every breath is full of self-awareness

Don't ever be afraid to be embarrassed

So I wrote these words to describe what I cry about

But I'm starting to think if you were here right now

You'd ridicule these lyrics, you'd hate this chorus

You'd probably tell me that the concept is too straight forward

Flicker

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark

One little flicker of light

Can erase the dark
