Backseat Census

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know every crack in the seat Every stain in the cloth Every lie that you fed me Like a knot in a watch You said "stay low" then left me With a phone full of calls Now I read your old messages Like a mark on the wall I got mud on my shoes From the path you forgot Got a fist full of plans And a head full of sparks You keep talking that talk But you fold when it counts I been quiet too long Now I’m making it loud [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who you are When the room goes still Tell me what you want When you can't get your fill I don't chase no ghosts I don't bite that bait I been standing right here At the edge of the gate [Chorus] Backseat census Count me in, count me in Backseat census I’m the one you can’t pin Backseat census Say my name, say it clear Backseat census I been real all year [Verse 2] Late shift, cold fries And a bruise on my pride You were gone by the time That the rain hit the glass Now the whole block knows I don’t break for the show I got rings in my voice And a steel in my throat I seen friends turn slick Seen a smile hide a snake Seen a hand on my shoulder Turn to smoke in a day So I moved with intent Kept a lock on my chest If you wanted a door Should’ve knocked with respect [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who you are When the room goes still Tell me what you want When you can't get your fill I don't chase no ghosts I don't bite that bait I been standing right here At the edge of the gate [Chorus] Backseat census Count me in, count me in Backseat census I’m the one you can’t pin Backseat census Say my name, say it clear Backseat census I been real all year [Bridge] Now the talk getting thin And the mask getting worn I was built in the dark But I bloom in the storm You can keep your small words Keep your half-hearted tries I got fire in my lungs And a stare that won’t lie [Chorus] Backseat census Count me in, count me in Backseat census I’m the one you can’t pin Backseat census Say my name, say it clear Backseat census I been real all year
