[VERSE 1]
Let it breathe
Edit-edit
Let it bleed
I've been editing these sentences for elegance with ease
If it's needed, I'll repeat it
Set it back and then delete it
Edit-edit
That's my method I don't need to proof read
Man I practiced this, acted if
Everything okay
In my head it's just edits on edits
No play
Said if time won't tell, Imma edit my place
To my credit I'd forget it
Just to edit out mistakes
I'm exhausted
Maybe it's from editing too often
Or maybe I'm in fear of what's forgotten
Still exhausted
I would spread my lips but only if it was for talking
More exhausted by the minute, time to finish what I started
Never seperate to make em wait
STOP
I'm addicted to the commas with some space
WATCH
This conflicted premadonna show his face
Even if it's late
Editin' to settle into fate
[HOOK]
Said if time won't tell
Imma edit edit edit
You can either let it set in or forget it
Imma keep it real on how im feeling in the present
And imma break the seal on how to deal with this depression
Get it
And if time won't tell
Then forget it edit edit
We don't need to conversate to get the message
Imma learn to speak without releasing my aggression
Imma just delete without detection of my presence
[BRIDGE]
I been chasing stasis to replace and not reflect
Evading conversations losing patience every step
I see regret from what I wasted by my breath
Edit-edit
Where's the exit I'll escape with what is left
[VERSE 2]
And if it doesn't all connect
What's imperative is narrative and if it was correct
Hidden steps I took enough to recollect
What's inherited not merited made sure I don't forget
Shallow breath? Better check
Not enough to nothing left inside my chest
I must confess
This edit stress has left me nothing but depressed
I must forget, to decompress
(nah nah nah bring it back)

Imma just delete without detection of my presence
