Birth
A.S.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is what you need in both of us
We can't replace it with jealousy and wild thoughts within our minds
Our minds combined and focused show a future we could find
If we read between the lines
Discover, find our faults and grow
The earth would realign
Together, you and I are stronger when the storms arise
My journey fighting demons cannot end until they die
Honey sweetens many things but trauma has a bitter taste
I lash out in neglect and now my growth has gone to waste
Here's my anger, here's my pride
The demons that I Hyde
The Jekyll part of me wish I could rid them from your eyes
Perfection not expected but if possible, I would
Be what you are to me, your impact never understood
Lost in translation from my heart to my lips
I found legends of our love written in hieroglyphs 
I've been asking how to love since the Carter 4
I learned that we should love ourselves before we ask for more
Castles built with sand fall when rain meets the shore
Houses built on solid land, still stand as the waves clash
We still hand in hand, still strong as the days past
We've been building up so long, I need this to last
All I need
Yeah
All I need is you
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
I said now hold on wait a minute
Know that I got love for you but
Before I show affection, gotta love my flaws and views
I got a gap between my teeth
Not much money in my pocket
I can show you love
Nothing short of God can stop it
I'll build our castle on the rock
So it never will fall down
Baby baby, gotta love myself before I settle down
Skeletons locked in my closet
Now I give the key to you
I haven't been the greatest kid
But I will be a man for you

It's impossible to overstate how good this song is. The lyrics are a near perfect example of rhythm, rhyme and flow. Not only are the rhymes and syllables in great balance, but several stanzas are given to to perfect alliteration as well. The final line of the song is simply astonishing in that effort.
