Bright & Early

It's the return of the complacent one Who gazes straight into the blazing sun and wastes his days for fun Trembling, the gremlin ate his lunch but ain't enough To satiate his hunger pains, no wonder they been staying up The pessimistic perfectionist with the repertoire To render his collective more perplexed than you'd ever saw Invested in destiny just ingesting his deadened thoughts And resting his head on a bed of rocks, never stops Questioning everything, the hood of his people Or whether or not there is objectively a good or an evil What it means to be free and if we could ever be fulfilled When people build deceitful guilds and kill for beliefs of a steeple See I don't have the Midas touch 'cause every item brushed becomes rusted, adjusted right to dust Flustered, wonder when time is up and why it's such A hard time for me climbing up this far ride when the climate thrusts It's been a minute since innocence slipped away And ever since the sixty seconds passed I've had some shit to say Ambition, it's a fickle bitch, been witness to its ways In which it drifts into the mist in the instant you wished it stayed Inner resistances blister amidst the friction Administered when I stir in the pits of indifferent conviction A walking talking dying breathing contradiction Whose mind's sicknesses transition into its favorite addiction Listen, facts are ominous when on the fence But your opinion prolly all depends on who you call your friends We smoked away and all the jokes were made at my expense But what I lacked in common sense I'd double back in confidence I guess we'll never know Which way the river flows, or where it goes, where it goes I suppose we'll never know Which way the river flows, yo I wish to live forever, I wish I didn't sever Every bond that got me along going on in this endeavor I wish to turn back time, I wanna begin again where all my friends were When we thought we had all the answers And every chance we had we just would discuss it Now we're glancing at the planet and we're fucking disgusted Just abandoning trust we once had implanted in something We thought much grander than us, but in the end it was nothing, f*ck it Cancel all your plans, bandage up your knuckles And buckle up for the clusterfuck impending us and chuckle It sucks the fun to be the damaged one amongst the bundle But my clumsy luck has seemingly clung to me from the struggle I'm puzzled, and just to make the pieces fit I cut them up and shuffle the ones that I need for it Then lose the others, enthused because of my weaknesses That had me practice magic back when I didn't believe in it Even the evil get the choice for benevolence Though the most we'd label noble show malevolent elements And so it goes to show you never know who the hell it is You're supposed to know, although your hopes are wholly irrelevant Check it, the question I'll raise is How many faces do us humans proudly display? Who's the actor behind the mask and who's around when it changes? And as the real you is coming out, will they stay then? I've seen lot of kin walking away More often than not it's been all of them that promised to stay But I'm coping, I'll hold the door open, I'll watch you and wave And I'll be honest wishing y'all a good day, hey I guess we'll never know Which way the river flows, or where it goes, where it goes I suppose we'll never know Which way the river flows I know you hate me, I see the way you evade me I notice the tilt when roses wilt, don't believe you played me I see it all from these hallways, we evolve and go our ways The show it must go on and I'd be just a pawn to pause plays So keep your paws placed just to yourself Roaring and rough I got more than enough love for myself You're in a gutter, I wonder what're the choices of poison You been employing with the intent of destroying yourself, shit You're quick to grip the crutches, to split the spliffs and Dutches Drinking buckets budgeted but not giving inches budging Bluffing and bludgeoning troubles, becoming this curmudgeon Pissed and smudging grudges begrudged at the ones you're swift to judging It's ugly, and its shitty too Because I used to love you, now I just fuckin' pity you It isn't pretty, you hit the city, get lit to lift the mood Enlisting who the f*ck ever listens through it and isn't rude I've never seen the point in begging for forgiveness Whatsoever but even less would I lend my own or give it So if you hold intentions for redemption forget it If you truly cherished our friendship, you wouldn't have quit it, get it? I'm not an idiot darling, I'm quite the opposite I'm obstinately primed any time to disprove the postulate But you've a lot of intrusive thoughts and a pile of shit And want it all dismissed and thus its my image that's targeted It's remarkable how starkly the river flows Living in frozen water, a martyr caught in his killing pose And so I choose to float, wondering where the cruise will go And where it all begun, but that's something we'll never truly know I guess we'll never know Which way the river flows, or where it goes, where it goes It goes to show we'll never know Which way the river flows, yo
