[Verse 1]
I think we like to create because somehow we were created/
I think we like to create because someday we'll be cremated/
With only a blank slate to tell our tales/
Rest in peace doesn't even start to detail/
The life, the fate, the scale, the weight of the experience/
We talk, talk, talk, but who is really hearing us?/
I mean we even created a man who created man/
But really we are the lamb/
The son of god/
f** it we're all god/
Or at least becoming him/
This world is gonna be heaven/
Whenever the love sets in/
We just gotta get there/
It's not fair that violence can be ma** produced/
But what happens in the sheets needs to be silenced and left aloof/
The truth is, life just isn't fair/
It's something we're told/
But really don't wanna hear/
So here we are, far from the truth/
Going all in like I gotta nothing to lose/
Trying to fit in like a new pair of shoes/
You know you used to think I was cool/
But then one thing changes and you look right through me/
A ghoul, I'mma ghost, I'm ghastly/
But in the end I'mma haunter/
Cause ya walk right past me/
Best friend conner/
Grew up fast, he skipped one grade/
And a friendship everlasting deteriorates/
Living in different states sure will put the brakes on reconnecting/
And yet it still could've worked/
Cause there's this thing called texting/
[Verse 2]
I don't know if you heard about it/
Or if it just wasn't being done at the time/
But it seems like you just left/
Without a thought in your mind about me/
Or the simplicity of being friends/
I guess all good things gotta come to an end/
It's not like it bothers me/
sh** happens for a reason/
But sometimes that part of my life/
Seems like the first season to a show that never picked up/
The pilot aired/
But we must have slipped up/
Said our lines wrong/
Cause the audience thinks the shows too long/
Too boring/
Not enough excitement/
Where's the real story?
But that's what makes it more real than anything/
Not everyone is living a life of luxury/
So f** a three star rating/
My life is five stars the critics are just hating/
Memories fading/
I try to hold on/
Words in my head/
Better bold the font/
That way it'll stick out/
I don't wanna be a dick about it/
But things just aren't the same/
I wouldn't be surprised if you called me the wrong name/
Like “hey.. uh.. Brandon right?”/
Yeah man, sure, you've only known me your whole life/
So why not hand me a knife, you already cut me off/
We don't talk, don't connect/
Dots left at the end of a sentence/
[Verse 3]
And this is where there's an awkward silence/
Because I really just don't know what to say anymore/
And deep in my core I can feel the uncertainty/
Will this friendship really last an eternity/
Or are we burning our feet/
Trying to walk on hot coals/
Careful where you step/
Might burn your soul/
Might burn a J/
Like my last name Cole/
But truth be told/
I don't even need to/
Mind clearer than ever/
That's why I can see through the whole crew/
It's a Motley one/
With pot leaf's son/
And when you remove that factor is everyone done?/
I guess we'll find out in due time/
The climb is rough/
But the view at the top of this mountain is enough for me/
Not a bluff, cards on the table for all to see/
Maybe I'm just thinking too much/
But some fools can seem shady/
My friends like a family of brady's/
Seems we got a whole bunch/
But a hunch tells me otherwise/
I'd like to hear the truth/
But all I'm seeing is lies in some lives/
Are we really alive/ or just here to survive/
Sorry to dive into the deep end/
But if we aren't getting deep/
Then we really aren't friends/
It's a steep thing to say/
But when I can't sleep a peep/
These are the things I lay awake and debate about/
All of it's in your head/
They say I'm crazy now/
Phasing out/
He's not all there/
Is he depressed/
Should we be scared/
[Verse 4]
Of course not/
These are thoughts I think we all wonder/
Deep under the mask we wear to protect our own a**/
I think I'm growing up to fast/
It was nice being a kid/
But vast is our life/
The past is our vice/
The earth our crash site/
The sun our flashlight/
But we still remain blind/
Just claiming to see/
Give me a second…
I gotta breathe/
But whether you're wearing gla**es or contacts/
The fact remains/
The amount of contacts in your phone don't mean a damn thing/
Especially when you calling them lames behind the scenes/
Take out the ‘r', and friends become fiends/
I think that ‘r' stands for respect/
Because without it how can you keep things in check/
Man I'm a wreck/
Not to say I don't feel good I feel great/
But with all this hate around/
Somebody's gotta conversate about what's going down/
I meant converse but it didn't rhyme didn't sound good/
So I said f** it this time and just did what I could/
Pile of wood and I'm the flame to start it/
Got off track, I just Mario Kart it/
Can't look back at what's already departed/
Just look ahead and put your heart in everything you can/
Brendan, Mugen, it doesn't matter/
It comes from the same place after all/
This craft is my call/
Small raft but I won't fall/
And even if I do/
I'll swim not sink/
