Lyrics
I want it left better than how it got found
I know how that sounds cuz I’m never around
Like a gold rush, I stay focused
And when it’s over, I’m like a locust
I can’t help the way it is
It’s all good if we’re still friends
I know that I’m selfish, I know I’m a prick
But there are a lot of things, that I still miss
The empty’s so heavy
No forgetting, the memories
Ghost towns and shadows the silence gets so loud
You tell me these things so I’ll never be free
Of whatever I’ll be
And it ain’t your fault, you can’t see
The effects and defects when you won’t return text
Eternity is lost in a breath
And you could stop a metropolis
In astonishment, like a comet hit
The city limits and til nothing exist - Not even the wind
Whatever I did, anything that I said
It’s like it’s the end of the earth
Rebirth from the dirt and then got back to work
Like nothing is worth what it’s worth
Haunted by purpose
Emotion the compass is broken -
The border of hopeless and coping
I played the game I’m all out of tokens
Wheelbarrows of gold, can’t buy a moment
Nothing was stolen, was all on my own
I’m blaming myself, and I’m blaming the rest
Someone said the best is yet to come
I just don’t know what I want
until i seen the snow fall in mississippi
sunday sunk in disbelief
the ghost towns through south dakota
the loneliest thing i've ever seen
til the world came crashing down
and something it will warn ya
japan to California
should leave it better than we found
should leave it better than we found
its like there's a million and one other people to blame
why pinpoint yourself in a lineup restrained?
truth and frustration seems everyones anxious
from Penguins in real life and money we're chasing
but did you...
ever take two more seconds to question it, why?
lie and lies of cherry skies
through telescopes the stars align
and been standing in this city
crimes and crimes and cops are lining up in a straight row
we'll all just go to death row
cuz nothing is pretty just furlowing pity
on any new victim the news wants to rip on
-media rush- and the masses they rush
stocking up water, milk and their guns
i dont wish that i had a million bucks
just wish my dad was still here to tell me hip hop sucks
so keep up with the joneses buy some more jewelry
assets are frozen, bills commit truancy
cracks in the sidewalk and short on our rent
they're cloning the sheep to walk off the cliff
the evident sedatives take ya to better than...
actions collected to reverse your leverage
you got them toys, ethics in the toilet
take all that trash and spread it like ointment
drenching the fossils with doubts and debacles
and layers of blood sit on top of the cosmos
...and stall, cuz ive seen it all
until i seen the snow fall in mississippi
sunday sunk in disbelief
the ghost towns through south dakota
the loneliest thing i've ever seen
til the world came crashing down
and something it will warn ya
japan to California
should leave it better than we found
should leave it better than we found
I want it left better than how it got found
I know how that sounds cuz I’m never around
Like a gold rush, I stay focused
And when it’s over, I’m like a locust
I can’t help the way it is
It’s all good if we’re still friends
I know that I’m selfish, I know I’m a prick
But there are a lot of things, that I still miss
The empty’s so heavy

You tell me these things so I’ll never be free
