Even though they had good lighting,
my medallions are coming down
I was preparing my best
Well, I just wasn’t expecting it
There’s something that’s exceptionally hard about all
this
To be completely honest,
I do things One at a time
And they just aren’t expecting it
They just aren’t accepting this
There’s something graceful now about it all
It’s honest
I didn’t feel like I lost anything
You could’ve put it there
Even though I can’t detect it
