Stand Alone

I've been battling revenants so I'm always lacing up my kicks Neither here or there, but when you went I split But I still I hear you in every bar that I spit Every time I take a hit, in my dreams you're still the shit, you haven't changed one bit There was more light in a single strand of your hair, when everyone else was Wiggin' out squinting at the glare Your words went unspoken, you grew broken We had trouble copin' with this innocence stolen At night I dream about the better times, about the freestyle rhymes Midnight clowning didn't get too far Skippin' class to play guitar All the times, all the memories, all the hope, all the rage All the pictures, that froze All the doors that have closed Like the feelin' you get tryin' to sleep in your bed When you're so tired and fed up with all of this shit Like you can't make a dent Only got half a book so it can't be read You need a lifeline but settle for gas and a light instead The rear views are just so damn clear Paddle ready, but this cyclones laughin' in my face makin' it hard to steer Granddad told me to protect you from the demons and we fought Yeah we fought like it was our last breath We couldn't rest. F*ck this shit. But I failed him and I failed you The promise fumbled and you went overboard Looking for a cord to put an end to it all this time I know I know I stand alone I stand alone You were with me but I didn't know I stand alone I stand alone I stand alone Broken promises and coffins and little known progress And I regress cos you're gone away So I drown in alizè and try to put the pain behind me It's gotta take more than the flow of apathy to stop me But I'm weaker than I seem And more and more I lean to the bottom of a bottle Like maybe I'll find some answers there Digging in deep for some matches, find a spark that burns away just when you think you're okay Yeah you think you're okay But your weaknesses are just camping Waiting for you to slip so damn I gotta keep keep keep stepping One foot in front of the other when I'm running. Hopes and dreams I'm running Yeah I'm running To the hospital it looks so much better from the outside And this hoodie protects me from more than the cold But unfortunately it also keeps me outta the fold Keeps me out of the fold Inside of the cold I stand alone I stand alone You were with me but I didn't know I stand alone I stand alone I stand alone A still I stand! DJ Godzilla's crushin' cities every time I spit on a track P.K's in the love and I give it away give it away daily Cos that's how the dim lights raised me So I raise my eyes to the sky and get so angry I raise my fist to the wall and I get so angry Why oh why am I the only left And still I stand By the place of healing That's tatted on my arm From the midnight graveyard to crying in the park Shots of Alizé straight to the heart Straight to the heart I stand alone I stand alone You were with me but I didn't know I stand alone I stand alone I stand alone
