High-Rise

Take a left at memory lane Then a right at emotional pain Dodge the trap that is lying in wait Chop the tree that is blockin' the way And in the street where the dogs are all strays Find the cat with a smile on its face Feed it well cuz it knows all the lanes And it wont think twice when it leads you astray Keep it The head on your shoulders Lift it your life like a boulder Sittin' here with my hands on my face Hear the screams that are blowin' my way Gettin carried by the winds of change In a carriage all wrapped in lace Bitter things with a sweetened taste A diamond watch with a plastic face Running through these eerie wastes All just to go through velvet gates Keep me drunk yeah that's ok For your wine work night and day How many dragons do we slay While ignoring the worst ones in our way? Be the king of your own self hate Own yourself if anything Better to accept mistakes Or you'll blind yourself with tears you shed from years away Keep it The head on your shoulders Feed it, your fire growin' colder Colder Don't accept it, build on built up hatred Get creative, turn bad to good incentives Just reject it, the pull of fleshly vices Cuz the price is, your future self's successes Keep it The head on your shoulders Lift it Your life like a boulder
