Chorus:
E                         D
I'll be gone like summer, I'll be here like rain
E                           D
Far beyond my expertise where I'ma be that day
E                         D
When you're gone like sunburn or you're here
like rain
E                   D
Far beyond my expertise where I'ma be that day

             E
There was a movement in the sky this morning
                D
The clouds tore open and it started storming on me
                E
Looking at the roof in this broke apartment
                   D
Watch in case the walls start closing on me
                  E
I used to have an old beat black guitar
                   D
I used to sleep in all of these trashy cars
                    E
I used to make the beat and spit the rap in
the closet
           D
Before anybody cared who the rapper was
            E
And now my food got no taste
                                   D
And my room got no space, and my head got so big
                            E
Don't remember who you is, dawg
                                  D
Don't remember when it switched, but

Chorus:
            E                           D
Yeah, it's dark out here, you better believe it
            E  D
Yeah, it's dark

I felt a hole in my soul this evening
I thought it would be different after
I left treatment
I stood up to a demon
Mama, you shoulda seen it
Remember back when Alex had no front teeth?
I do, I remember most of it
Back before I shed my shell, now I'm a ghost of it
Remember back when it was the four of us like
ghostbusters?
Remember that?
I ain't even know a democrat from a lumberjack
Now it's mostly politics
Now I work on holidays
Now I'm worth all kinda things
Now kids pin me up in living rooms in they
mama's place
Man, I moved out my mama's place
And then I bought my mama place
Then I replaced my mama with a white bitch
from the palisades
Then after she broke up with me,
I became who my mama hates, I became my dad
I would break promises that
I would make to my favorite people
I'd cheat on my favorite bitch and then
I would lie through my teeth
You remember when Alex had no front teeth?

I don't remember shit
I don't have a good memory
I mean, I do, it's more like flashback
Yeah
That's what you have? Like flashes
Yeah, I have like a lot of them,
they're very like, brief flashes
What about babyhood, do you have
any babyhood shit in the back of your head?
Like, I don't remember nothing as a toddler
Do you remember like? No?
I figured as much, so you got my memory
What's your earliest memory? Any?
Um
What house do you remember?
What's your first house you remember?
'Cause I don't even remember
I remember
Well, I remember your first house, house,
it was actually an apartment
I remember
