now that you're back
who needs a rat?
out of the fire
into the briar patch
no more pointless sacrifice
cos you're always on my side
always on my side
You said, "welcome home"
like I never left
no more movin' on
and no more rats
you always been my best friend
and I'll see you to the end
you and me til the end of time
cos you're always on my side
always on my side
gonna be my gonna be my
gonna be myself
you've always been my best friend
I'll see you to the end

ooh, you
bad news
somebody
has to lose
I have everything to lose
so it won't be me
precious baby
with "anxiety"
look, little bitch,
you don't fool me
cry wolf when you're caught
a mistake that you're makin'
can't be what you're not
you don't know what you're takin'
you don't have to borrow trouble
from me
but if you go lookin'
you're sure gonna find it
oh me
how can this be?
I don't believe
the things I see
the valley of despair
is uncanny
you've got everyone fooled
a mistake that you're makin'
breaking cardinal rules
you don't know what you're takin'
you don't have to borrow trouble
from me
but if you go lookin'
you're sure gonna find it
ooh, you
bad news
somebody
has to lose
I have everything to lose
so it won't be me

Burden of Proof

Familial wealth
No coincidence
The fancy house
No coincidence
Push me aside
No coincidence
Say it’s to survive
No coincidence
What you took from me
That you got for free
I have paid the price
Love you monetized
Don’t say it’s how it has to be
What you took from me
That you didn’t need
We both know the truth
But I bear the burden of proof
can't scorch my earth
no coincidence
know my self worth
know coincidence
say you're self-made
no coincidence
same lipstick shade
no coincidence
What you took from me
That you got for free
I have paid the price
Now I won’t play nice
Don’t say it’s how it has to be
What you took from me
That you didn’t need
You had me sacrifice my youth
Now I bear the burden of proof
Familial wealth
No coincidence
The fancy house
No coincidence
Push me aside
No coincidence
just admit you lied
No coincidence
What you took from me
That you got for free
love you monetized
I have paid the price
Now I won’t play nice
Don’t say it’s how it has to be
What you took from me
That you didn’t need
We both know the truth
But I bear the burden of proof

CDIB
I got in me
ain't enough of the right kind
you see
They ask you if you daddy's Injun Joe
They ask you though already know
you got bad blood
bad blood
CDIB
I got in me
comes back
to haunt like a bad penny
bad seed, bad blood, bad penny
They ask you if you daddy's Injun Joe
They ask you though already know
you got bad blood
bad blood

silt floods my lungs
and I still find myself
looking for a way out
searching for answers
I know can't be found
Everybody knows
you just rephrase
the question
until you get it to
say what you want
run away from home
far away from home
silt floods my lungs
and I still find myself
begging for a way out
begging for answers
I know can't be found
Everybody knows
you just rephrase
the question
to find your way back home
find your way back home

Lost and Found

lost and found
and I'm left here waiting
lost and found
and I'm still debating
if what I see
in the mirror is me
lost and found
and I'm dead inside
never be nobody's bride
but that's just fine by me
cos I suits me
lost and found
and I'm left here waiting
lost and found
and I'm still debating
if what I see
in the mirror is me
lost and found
every sacred space
lost and found
without a trace (Nanabozho's Laughing Place)
but the joke is on you
cos I know how to see this through
lost and found
and I'm left here waiting
lost and found
and I'm still debating
if what I see
in the mirror is me
lost and found
and I'm dead inside
never be nobody's bride
but that's just fine by me
cos I suits me
