Mask. Lyrics - Singles - Jean Grae

[Verse 1] 

Man, the things you learn in this world deserve space, their own orbits 

The pleasurable, the most morbid 

No post-posting your destiny til you're post-mortem 

But I guess I'm mostly post-modern in my theorems though 

[Redacted] a lot, [redacted] in moderation 

But my moderation's higher than the average human 

I choose to use imagination more than normal 

I'm dreaming right now, I teleported you through portals 

Supported with the thought that thoughts become things in an instant 

An instinct is to think fast 

When you blink, you wait for impact 

You blink and Jeannie been past 

No blockage and no impasse 

Cannot is not in this class, no Ramadan is this fast 

I won't promote a groupthink 

Emote so much I leave verbatim in the booth, thick 

And I would never use this music to abuse things 

I just want motherfuckers to do things 

Damn 

[Hook] 

Take your mask right off and 

Show me your face 

I love you 

There is a place for us 

Promise I'll keep you safe 

And show me your 

Show me your 

Show me your 

Show me 

Show me your 

[Verse 2] 

There's nothing wrong with the chinks in your armor 

Character building like your damages, sans for drama 

And if you're dealing with your issues, bonus 

But cannot deal with them with you -- I know you're mostly a loner 

But I'm alone in it too, holding your shoulder 

And I would like to hold it all if you're feeling the moment 

Though we could see where we're going 

Pursuing something that's beautiful 

I'm a hopeless romantic 

I hope this doesn't do damage to all the friendship we're building 

I never claimed to be coping 

And even keeping closed my [redacted], a door that's usually open 

Cause you're unusually focused, and that's the nail in the coffin 

That I've been laying and loving, just waiting here in the dark 

Want to tell you but can't 

It's steady killing me softly 

I just orbit you often 

You're amazing, but fuck it 

I keep rejection at bay and my feelings graciously tucked in 

Wanna say I want your name to form a suffix 

[Hook]
