Myles Yates


Mr. Erasure

(Erasure of Mr. Lonely by Tyler The Creator)

They say                the room is weak
                                             I disagree
I say                    the room
Is                                                       me
Attention seeker      
         my God, that boy

Writin'             about                        people
Who do not exist, he's        phony
                I know         
           so bad,

Heart                                        so low 
                     can't lift

From the start   
   been so dark,   
                           call me charbroiled,
I'm playin'
I'm really

                    sick of me talkin'
But what the fuck else do you want ?
                 the only                      company

                 is      the void
Been fillin' it for so long
                             if it's shit I enjoy (ohh)
                             as an adult
               a shadow 
               love

never comes
Like
                               , the face
Found
                 mirror on the wall
The loneliest of them all

Never
             never     

        I've never been good with


Check in on me
Ask me how I'm really doin'
                         
press that 911
