[Hook: Anderson .Paak]
I can see the ugly portraits painted in nightosphere
But I was not an art major so I stay silent out of fear
Those brush strokes, so messy
There must be some way out of here
Those expressionistic paintings, they paint me in my nightmares
I opened up my third eye for an entire light year
I live wrong, you dead right
I've never been on that website with the Pitchfork, I'm dead right?
I'm dead right?
I'm dead right?

[Verse 1: Milo]
In California on tour I happened to lose my soul patch
Among those with ornate bobbles on their snapbacks
Passwords were spoken, talismans and tokens
Grip handsigns in motion, battlements were broken
I scream Hellfyre until my lungs collapse in their own poison
It's risky business, you're picking a fight with Ricky Fitness
Now I've found my courage to walk up in those dark places
Now I've found my courage to talk to those with shark faces
I've known the buzz of anxieties
Bury me in rap money only to watch me practice piety
I don't worship crystals and I don't dabble in secret societies
With hidden lords and Ouija boards
I used to get paid to squeegee floors
How dare you ask for more
At the intersection of task and bore
Where better is the enemy of
And I swear to God I'm good enough [x3]

Those expressionistic paintings, they paint me in my nightmares

I live wrong, you dead right
I've never been on that website with the Pitchfork, I'm dead right?
I'm dead right?
I'm dead right?

[Bridge: Milo]
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away
You don't need to run away

​milo

Rory Ferreira on February 3rd, 1992, Milo, FKA Milo (sometimes stylized “milo”), is a Chicago native, a philosopher, and most famously, a rapper.

Milo is the former main project of Ferreira- he previously had a side project under the name Scallops Hotel, and has ceased creating music underneath both names to pursue his career under his given name, R.A.P. Ferreira.

Ferreira was born on February 3rd, 1992 and studied Philosophy at St. Norbert’s College. His rap career began in the hip-hop trio Nom de Rap in 2010, which released only one project before disbanding. After the death of his best friend Robert Espinosa, Milo released his first solo rap mixtape, I wish my brother Rob was here in 2011. He went on to release another mixtape Milo Takes Baths and two EPs, Things That Happen at Day and Things That Happen at Night. In 2013, Milo joined the collective Hellfyre Club, and released the mixtape Cavalcade before releasing his first official album A Toothpaste Suburb. Milo left the collective and began his own label (and later rap collective) Ruby Yacht, where he released three more albums underneath Milo, So the Flies Don’t Come, Who Told You to Think??!!?!?!?!, and budding ornithologists are weary of tired analogies before setting the Milo project aside.
