Lyrical Analysis of...
Presence
- //0:12
- Pops dipped, left a silhouette in the doorframe
- Raised by the echo, I been wrestlin’ the floor stain
- Bloodline crooked —got his name but it don’t fit
- Hole in my spirit like the crib had a cold split
- Used to hope he’d show with the sun, but it set fast
- Watched the light die in my mom, nothin’ gets past
- She ain’t speak foul, but the quiet said enough
- I was buildin’ up a wall, every brick was his bluff
- Chorus:
- Where you go when the love don’t land?
- I was searchin’ in the smoke with a cut open hand
- You a myth in my mind, just a voice in the fan
- But I’m still that kid waitin’, just tryin’ to understand
- Verse 2:
- Did you flinch when you left? Did the guilt ever creep in?
- Or was I just a name on a list you ain’t keepin’?
- I been piecin’ through the years like a puzzle with no edge
- Tryna balance all this anger on a sliver of regret
- Never learned how to shave or to stand with my chest out
- Learned to cry quiet —it was safer to let doubts
- Stack in the attic like your boxes and breath
- Your shadow in my life felt a lot like death
- And I walk like you now, it’s a curse I been wearin’
- Even got your lying habit, man, it’s somethin’ I’m scared of
- Like, how you give me traits but no path, no presence?
- Had to father my pain; just to make it a weapon
- Chorus:
- Where you go when the love don’t land?
- I was searchin’ in the smoke with a cut open hand
- You a myth in my mind, just a voice in the fan
- But I’m still that kid waitin’, just tryin’ to understand
- Outro:
- It’s not hate, it’s a hunger you ain’t fed
- It’s talkin’ to a silence where your voice shoulda been
- I don’t even want an answer, just peace in my chest
- But I still look for you in every mirror I check
