VERSE 1
ive been trying to find you in words i can’t spell
phrases i haven’t heard or seen
a place thats foreign to even me
and in hopes of bridging it to what i know
i get lost
deep down you are not much different
the ugliest of you is a mirror in me
CHORUS
build me up into good
cause the bad in me keeps me down
build me up into good
cause the bad in me keeps me down
VERSE 2
i think she knew better once
but she didn’t know she could deserve it
what’s that thing
what’s that world
who knows light
branded by guilt
that i built
weathered trust
not even the most resilient could gain
maybe i’m not meant to be fixed
and you aren’t meant to fix
[CHORUS]
Instrumental Break
[CHORUS UNTIL END]

Some of the most beautifully put together Modern Soul to be found on BandCamp. Amber's sexy breathy vocals combined with early Erykah Badu-esque music is to die for. I am a lifelong fan. DJ V From CHICAGO
