Shoulda Known
Atmosphere Lyrics

Naked in the bathtub
Vulnerable and exposed, you find yourself in a secluded space.

Sittin' on the porcelain
You are stationary and immovable, awaiting what's inevitable.

Waiting for that little hurricane to pull your torso in
You are anticipating the inevitable force that will pull you in and cause chaos in your life.

The water don't run, just drips like rain
The water is stagnant like your life, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes toxic.

Still drips like a painkiller drips to the veins
Despite the stagnation, there's still something soothing and addictive about the experience.

Fill it up
Submerge yourself fully in the experience.

With a bag of that happy stuff
Distract yourself from reality with drugs.

'Cause the way she runs out, you can tell she ain't had enough
The fear of running out is real, and you're not ready to face your demons.

Good times goddess
You're searching for a goddess, a source of happiness and joy.

My goodness
The search ends here, you've found her.

Got finger nail polish autopilot foot prints
She leaves her mark everywhere she goes, and she's not fully aware of it.

With a smile that's stitched to the fabric of bedtime tales and
Her smile is seemingly pure and innocent, like the tales from childhood bedtime stories.

Keep them tits out of the attic
Don't hide your beauty and assets away, let them be appreciated.

The mouth of madness
She has a way with words and can drive you crazy.

Loud and manic
Her behavior can be overwhelming and unpredictable.

The motive of the bird going south on the Atlas
Her reasons for doing what she does are unclear and hard to understand.

Picture a hole
Imagine a place to escape to.

Put your hero in
Imagine yourself as the hero in this escape plan.

Envision the gold
Imagine the riches and rewards that await you if you succeed.

Now zero in
Focus on this vision and make it your goal.

Been watching your night train track for the last few stops
Observing and overthinking your every move.

With no desire to hop it
Not taking action and letting life pass you by.

How did we end up in your apartment
Reflecting on how you got to this point in your life.

Pocket full of gossip says this ain't smart
Your instincts tell you that this isn't the right path for you.

When it's all said and done, can't get restart
You can't turn back time and change your past mistakes.

But I'll be damned if I don't wanna kiss you
Despite everything, you still have feelings for this person.

Shoulda known better not to fuck wit' you
You had a feeling that this situation would lead to trouble.

Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose
You don't have much to begin with, but you can't afford to lose what you do have.

Lost in the rush don't know what to do
You're consumed by the experience and can't think clearly.

That drug got you like I want you
You're addicted to the excitement and can't let go.

I've got a restraining order
You've been hurt before and are still affected by it.

Against Satan's daughter
The person who hurt you is evil, in your eyes at least.

And I keep it at the bottom of this Jamison and water
You try to cope with your pain by drinking.

And when we get there
Eventually, the truth will come out.

You can sit there and stare
You'll have to face the consequences of your actions.

From behind your mascara and your thick hair
But you try to hide your true feelings and intentions behind a mask.

I'm aware of that pain you harbor
You understand that the other person is also hurting.

The same negative game to the names you martyr
They also play games with people and enjoy being the victim.

Apart from the details and substance and whatnot
Beyond all the superficial things, there's something real there.

I fucks with that hunger of love pistol and gut rot
You're willing to take the risk and embrace the pain of love.

Bloodshot
Your eyes are tired and strained from everything you've been through.

Give me one shot, my shot
You're asking for a chance to prove yourself and make things right.

Propped up on enough talk to make time stop
You have a lot to say and need to make your case.

The lines of chalk that Benjamin might cop
Your words are powerful and can have a lasting impact, like art on a sidewalk.

Killed the illustrations on the neighborhood sidewalks
You've faced your past mistakes and learned from them.

Then all of a sudden she got silent
The other person stopped talking or responding.

Pupils like marbles, hide behind the eyelids
They've retreated and are no longer engaged in the conversation.

Get away sticks go limping hole place
You're aware that they're trying to leave and escape the situation.

That fucked up smile sucked up most of her face
Their smile is fake and only masks their true emotions and pain.

Truly beauty, the scene so surreal
Despite the chaos, there's a certain beauty and wonder to the situation.

And each criticism becomes redeemed
You're able to see the good in even the bad times and learn from your mistakes.

Swallow my words
You need to let go of your ego and be humble.

No more judgment it's true
You need to stop being critical and be honest with yourself.

'Cause you look like what I feel like when I'm with you
Being with this person brings out a certain feeling that you can't explain.
