If You Only Knew feat. Amy

from The Blame EP by Finn Martin

lyrics

If you only knew
what I’ve done to you

Mat Lee manipulative masochistic magic
hocus pocus focus on her eyes until the tragic
demise of two different beings
coming together for the first time and seeing

who the other person really is
I mean behind all the makeup and the glitz, ah yes there she is
flip a wink, a smile given in return
I can’t stare too long that girl makes my eyes burn

now it’s the spies turn lemme make a move
slowly glide through the room and get next to
so pretty, about five foot nine
which means i have to look up to let her eyes meet mine

I’m not very tall and I can’t sit still long
make the call I got the flow to make your whole deal strong
now we’re talking about getting what I want
If you only knew what you were in for you would have stopped

If you only knew
what I've done to you

story number two starts with my dad
and ends with a pill addiction that got out of hand
I got sad had to take more
i got sick ended up puking on the floor

first off it’s fun until it becomes necessary
twelve years later still gluing pieces of my brain back together
sure there’s permanent changes
but the road out of hell is always filled with strangers

everywhere I look scary faces in the wind
trying to tell me i should find god and get rid of sin
I gave up over a dozen times
one for every year me and god were shooting lines

in my arm, I should have died in the swarm on the floor in an alley
like the rest of the junkies in the valley
But nope, here I am rapping
here i am to trap you hi my name is Matthew

If you only knew
what I’ve done to you
I made my brain mushy. Much to my dismay,
I trained at lunch to fight in this game.
Between my fits of rage and constant reminders
of what I could have been, another haunted insider.

Here’s a tip for you, RUN!
Don’t look back, just run. Don’t think, run.
You keep on the move to stay ahead of the game,
but between me and you, it doesn’t look like you’ve played.

Sure, looks can always deceive,
and books have pages you can turn to have a read.
but it’s my turn to bleed because your face is red
and I keep all your hearts in a box under my bed.

Enough said because you've said enough
without saying a word now I’m lost in the rough.
But I found a diamond that was trapped inside,
one of the saddest looking smiles I've ever seen in my life.

If you only knew
what I've done to you

Now, lay down on the couch and please tell me why
you say you're just killing time until its time to die
well yea what else is there?
does experience matter once you vanish into thin air

maybe things you've done will still matter
to people living and chilling in the space time fabric
can you stop and say for one second
you think the dead give a fuck what you left with?

run the model, and look where it ends
we’re an eon in a cycle of eons so lets pretend
we’re so proud of getting to the moon
but that’s one tiny grain of sand in the sand dune

So blink an eye before they think you've died
in the blink of an eye like a zombie dead on the inside
You can’t deny falsifiable high
If you only knew what I know it’d make you sit and cry
