lyrics

do you remember when you promised that you'd never leave me
i said "dont say that less you mean it" you said please believe me
and so i did you know i really fucking did although it seems im just another
stupid kid at least that's how you see me

do i ever cross your mind? you aint gotta lie
it's probably better that i know the answer's never
cuz my soul would stand forever in the rain at your door
that you'd kiss away (the) pain once more

money and the skills and the smarts
couldn't matter in a matter of the heart
im battered and im torn and im tattered and the porn
makes me sadder knowin somebody is fucking you like that

what else

i lost my father in a bottle i may never get him back
and now im feelin trapped in my own
trapped and alone but the pills help me fill so at home
so i spill what i got and i take em

not for the fakin, i've written only real
and im spitten for the listeners who feel
like they sufferin in solitude
buffer from the pain, yo i got it dude
spot the truth find somebody else who needs a talkin to

maybe they could pay it forward
and help a brother out, that's all this fuckin life should be about
there's somethin so surreal about this music
got me feelin like the real fuckin deal when i use it

so many promises, time had to break em
i'm fine when i lie, i'm good when i lie. i take em
swallowin my pride with a tablespoon
hope that i get famous soon, got to get me famous soon

cuz

fame is an excuse to overdose riiiiiight?
but it can go wrong and leave me comatose, aiiight
on second thought, maybe that'd be perfect
maybe i could finely live the dream steada hurtin

maybe i could make a little world in my head
where my love isn't dead; everybody's got enough bread
and hate's in the page of the history books
every child in the worlds well read

you know i would have fought the world just to keep you
but to you i wasn't worth the fuckin effort
and that can change a man, i hope you know that i dont hate
you but i miss you and i wish for you to understand

that i could only want the best for you and all your fam
i know your pops'd lost respect for me but he's the man
and i looked up to him it hurt for me to lose that twice
upon the top of what we had so nice but

oh well, life goes on
fight good fights till the light grow stronger
you might just might find the right one down the road

so im gonna float, float until another beauty pulls me in her boat
and pray that i can stay away from turncoats
concern most that my words help me learn hope
and through rap return most

while i burn those one way bridges.
burn those one way bridges--
while i burn those one way bridges to the motherfucking ground
