GeminiI'm a myth and I'm a legendWho never winsAnd might not ever play againKeep falling inLife's so fast, and I gotta getSpeeding, when I should ease in?Oh, I know myself, my sinsDug my pit, then I fell inPulled that trigger, killed us bothLesson learned, but truth gets old

Little of Heaven, little unpleasantI don't knowLittle love, pleasure, little depressionI don't knowLittle of Heaven, little unpleasantI don't knowHow I can tell if? How I can measureIf I don't know?

I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my "I'm so sorry" textDon't regret the boys I chose, but do regret the mess I madeI see you hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight, and closeDon't need long, just want to say, "I love you and miss you more"Oh, I know myself, my skinRolling stones don't crawl back inDaddy's faults fell down on meBreak that curse for sweet relief

Little of Heaven, little unpleasantI don't knowLittle love, pleasure, little depressionI don't knowLittle of Heaven, little unpleasantI don't knowHow I can tell if? How I can measureIf I don't know?

Mercury running amuck in my mindCan't tell if I'm winning or falling behindVenus in retrograde got me in bedAnd thinking about all of the shit that I saidGemini Scope give me depth 'til I'm deadBut I can't seem to get the fuck out of my headBut fuck it, I'll just cop a Porsche insteadI do as I please, and you see where we're leadGet something better, 'bout to happen to meYou think I'm two-faced, I could name 23

My layers, all these sidesCould you stick by for the ride?It's a thrill, and I don't even know how to feelIt might be too real, might be tooReal, might be too real, realI said, might be tooI said, might be too real, realI said, might be too real

Excuse me if I liedI forgot I said thatCan you forgive my tongue?I'll show where my head atI don't think I'm the oneBut I could be your girlfriend'Til retrograde is done
