Bird Box by The Locust Lyrics
All you had to do was look
Look it, look at what you made me do
I said I don’t believe how long it took
For me to let the finger point at you
Now you could be the pusher or the cook
It all depend on what you’re trying to prove
Well you could follow footprints in the soot
Or you could take em somewhere new
Problematic, I think I’m an addict
Give me, give me drama, all I want is static
See no leisure or no peace of mind
If you could read my mind it wouldn’t be so tragic
I could be more like em, I just need some practice who am I to try to be myself?
Y’all already had a plan in action for me
Before I even had a dream I felt
I don’t beat around the bush about it
You could probably push him, but he’ll never change
I don’t see a lot of motivating
All I know is hate, I won’t accept the blame
Feel the pressure from the foolish pride
To try to look alive for those who’ve never cared
You could watch me put that shit aside
As if I never minded it was ever there
Oddsmaker, love I lost
Fall taker, look at what it cost
Overall I’ve been an underdog
Fam and fans, a bunch of ballbreakers
Everywhere I go I leave a flaw
Turn the heat up til I sauté em
Always gotta piss somebody off
Walking motherfucking salt shaker
So much for the royal, no one loyal
All that matters now is getting mine to grow
Built a totem pole of hopelessness
From all the bullshit and the lies that I was told
I ain’t say I never escalate it
But the mess I made, I made it trying to mend
Never was so much a problem solver
So I know I’d do it all again
All you had to do was look
Look it, look at what you made me do
I said I don’t believe how long it took
For me to let the finger point at you
Now you could be the pusher or the cook
It all depend on what you’re trying to prove
Well you could follow footprints in the soot
Or you could take em somewhere new
Complicated, I’ve abominated
Every kind of way to make it out alive
Time and time again I break a promise
I’m just trying to save it from my father’s eyes
Family never could’ve comprehended
Where I been or where I saw to draw the line
I just knew they wouldn’t understand it
So I never bothered to apologize
See no evil, let the ego lead him
He don’t show no fear and he don’t ever learn
Fuck an image, show em I exist
I set a fire to the bridge and let it burn
Always under some influence, trapping
Made it happen acting like I knew it all
People that I used to know say I been distant
Maybe I just wanted you to call
Now they concerned
Now they wanna reach him, now I should turn
I don’t fucking need em
Made it here without em
What you know about him?
Nothing but what you’ve heard
So in other words, when the trouble stirs?
See the love disperse, I’ve uncovered worse
But it fucking hurts
You was looking down on me when shit was looking up and look at what it birthed
Hold up
So much for the royal, no one loyal
All that matters now is getting mine to grow
Built a totem pole of hopelessness
From all the bullshit and the lies that I was told
I ain’t say I never escalate it
But the mess I made, I made it trying to mend
Never was so much a problem solver
So I know I’d do it all again
All you had to do was look
Look it, look at what you made me do
I said I don’t believe how long it took
For me to let the finger point at you
Now you could be the pusher or the cook
It all depend on what you’re trying to prove
Well you could follow footprints in the soot
Or you could take em somewhere new
Look it, look at what you made me do
