Mixed Signals (feat. Karmun Ooi)

You make me smile like an off-center picture
You don't even know it, you don't even know it
You make me feel all the things that I feel
But I don't even show it, I don't even

Uh! You make me smile like an off-center picture
In the wrong position, with the wrong fixtures
I'm slowing it down, that's how I usually take it now
And if I'm stunning too hard, I'mma turn it back down
I never thought that this could happen to me once again
But I do not believe in coincidences involving pain
'Cause the degree of deviation is so infinitesimal
It can only mean that everything was in the Father's dream
Logic. Fact. Providence. Direction
Like creation being subjected to one who's doing porridge
Incarcerated to the fact the brain's in its chains
And the more that I maintain, man, the more I go deranged
Orange! Is the new black, that's what they say
But they never say keep the orange down at its bay
They will always say, keep the darkness away from the light
'Cause if the darkness is your light, then how bright is that light

We show no regret, then you put me in this place
With all of your despair but I know you care
You just don't show it on your
Don't show it on your face

Uh! You make me smile like an off-center picture
All in repetition, second time fronting
I'm tryna make sense of the situation now
But the more that I try, man, the more that I bow
Out to the circumstances inflicted by time
As the marching never ceases but only seems to be leading
To a surefire miss or misdemeanor action
Or a mistaken conversation leading to confusion
Mental. Blocks. Barricades & Stops
Knowing that all action has equal counter reactions
That it might be a sign or a fatal attraction
Maybe just another turn to a heartbreak and to learn
But what if it isn't? And what if it's not intended
Designed for destruction but instead for the notion
That everything happens for the good of those who love Him
So, if that's the case then nothing ever has to be in question

We show no regret, then you put me in this place
With all of your despair but I know you care
You just don't show it on your
Don't show it on your face

I still remember the first day we met
Legend has it, that I still don't know it yet, Huh
And only you know what I mean
And I'm still trying my level best not to be seen
But really, if that is really so, then it's silly
'Cause in doing so, I inadvertently break down in melodies
And verily I say to thee, the lyricist inside of me
Is showing much affinity to the level of poetry
And seriously, I'm not playing, I'm just saying
Emotions racing, mind spacing, heart displaying-for all to see
This is definitely more than sleeves
But courageous vulnerability is something I believe in
And yes, this is me, broken pottery
Stained glass window but still hopeful to see
Wishful thinking never got me anything
Learned it from experience, never wish to repeat it
