Hemlock Ernst & Kenny Segal – The One lyrics

[Verse 1: Hemlock Ernst]
(I remember)
Down on the bayou, more crickets [??]
Diggin', embrittled, belittled myself with riddles
Kids laughin' up in the streets giggle
Scatter pieces like skittles and mumblin'
Six, chubby kid with my nose runnin'
Winter's comin', it's winter's year let's get out of here
Fever blister lip, that's my curse marked eclipse
Now immersed in the trench of my room, that's my ditch
Talkin' to ghosts and mists that I used to play host
And for all the kitty cats that's followed me home
And I said
(You're the one)
You know I got a chip on my shoulder
I'm trying to unfasten myself
(You're the one)
And I never meant to hurt you when the truth of the matter:
I don't deserve you
(You're the one)
And it's karma I believe
But when I find the real thing, they fuckin' leave
(I remember)
And I deserve it
I fucked so many times, fucked up so many times
Got stuck so many times and ghost too many times
Sat coach, so many lines, my class bumped up to first
My class suffered the worst, low class, dignity first
Outcast since I was birthed
Picked last until I versed they paths around the notebook
My pad, causin' outbursts
But push that got the shove
His courage is filled with love
Malnourished, I sat above and watched them fall in love

That was the beginning and the end

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
Mama said there'd be days like this
There'd be days like this, my mama said
Mama said there'd be days like this
There'd be days like this, my mama said
Mama said there'd be days like this
There'd be days like this, my mama said
Mama said there'd be days like this
There'd be days like this, my mama said

[Verse 2: Hemlock Ernst]
So why, clutch on the bottle?
Forgettin' the ones are hollow
Burn bridges up in the shallow
Hurt friendships that coulda followed
Or because my need to wallow
This victim complex I swallow
Since pickin' me up from soccer
The beaches in Monte Carlo
Speeches that never followed
Speak the feelings I hid in
I'm empty needin' redemption
I'm pluggin' seekin' the mission
But the only hopes me feelin' for myself and my soul
And that knowledge left me devastated
The shit I perpetrated
All 'cause I was alone
And you can spit clown, talk your little shit
But it's time to put your dick down
