lyrics

Slave to my habits 
Slave to my habits
Ridges on my back from all the lashes getting calloused
Liquor got me leaning on my liver from an axis
Try to double cross it hoping I retain my balance
But I fall and roll
And I always hit the ground harder than I pray 
Add another chip onto my shoulder and I’ll break
Into jagged little pieces you’ll look at me like, my god
‘Cause you never knew how many outside forces it would take

And I didn’t know
But I’ve cried so much at so many different intervals
That my fingertips are getting blue 
And my heart is going indigo
Indigo
But I’ve gotten so used to me losing that I’m letting go
And I’m trying really hard to breathe
But my heart is going indigo

Sun in my eyes
I can’t see
I was tryna to fit
Plan A into Plan B
Every time I run I remember I can’t hide
Wanna let go confide cause I still can’t sleep at night
Tried to stand on my own, can’t keep upright
Never lean on a soul tryna be polite
But I kept looking up tryna reach a height
Reach a height
Right now 
I don’t wanna come back down
I just wanna give myself space
I just wanna play my sound

Indigo
But I’ve gotten so used to me losing that I’m letting go
And I’m trying really hard to breathe
But my heart is going indigo

Indigo
So cold when you find it
When you come back home
I’m reminded
That I want to be alone nowadays and that
Is always in my mind
It’s a blinding fact

Sun in my eyes
I can’t see
I was tryna to fit
Plan A into Plan B
if I could run from my past
I’d redact it so fast
That I don’t think I would understand me
Mhmm

Light in my eyes
They think that I’m blind
Patient I’m waiting on mine
Thought I was misunderstood 
I am just hard to define
Now that I’m moving with love
Nothing is blocking my shine
Blue is the hue I was dealt 
when I thought I was of my mind
I
Blew my mind and my residual
Though my eyes and over video
Analog boy is going digital
So when you see my skin start changing
I didn’t know
Know
Know
That my heart was going indigo
