Ghost Town (Demo)

I don't know if I can take this After everything that I gave this My hopes were as high as a plane gets or spaceships or space gets But everything was so baseless Love was my only real basis I tried to build up from the basics But you wanna stay in the basement There's nowhere for me in this darkness I'm trying to get keys to apartments With balconies and carpets and nice things for a bargain A quiet place on easy street A hideaway from the meet and greets Some peace of mind from the daily grind and someone who sometimes agrees with me But this world won't let that Like being happy's a setback And nobody wants to hit back and I just don't get that So I step back and I take aim Keep growing, I don't stay the same Live a high life, a whole 'nother plane It's Mark Perry, won't forget the name I've got to go or you've got to leave I've got to know that you're not for me I've carried this too long and now I'm starting to see That love is hard on the knees And this ain't usually how I do this I was ready to break out the cool whip Even wanted to buy you some new shit like some new kicks and a new whip Making sure you're styling while you do shit Spreading cash like it was a blueprint But I'm seeing that it was all useless How you're dodging these arrows from Cupid And if I'm being perfectly honest I guess I just don't get your logic Who doesn't like trips to the tropics or moonwalks or comets Or doo-wops or sonnets or to see their name in a song list I guess real love is abolished And I'm the one being demolished But ain't that how it goes though Got bad bitches by the boatload Down to do whatever for the goat, yo But when it comes to them, I go ghost mode In my own zone, I see all And I know where you belong Right next to me on the Queen's throne But you'll probably just end up in these songs like I've got to go, or you've got to leave I've got to know that you're not for me I've carried this too long, and now I'm starting to see That love is hard on the knees
