Eyedea - Savior Self lyrics

[Verse 1: Cas One] This one's for the vices, the advice I never took Those stairways I mistook for pages in my notebook Those old cold looks that grab ahold of soul and shook Hold my head up while I hold your hand and write my book Oh look, that crooked little window got some blinds I never pull em down though, they see straight inside It's like we changed minds, still stand in the middle Don't know how I keep it, I used to keep it always Touch hands with ghosts and still walk through these hallways Keep myself sane with the music on the long days Seasons still change, I keep a piece of them always Faces rearrange, they just memories in a crawlspace They wanna walk the shoes but never learned to tie the lace [Hook: Kristoff Krane] Although beauty's all around me It's so easy to feel like I'm still drowning Hey, set sail for the shore now Dead nails Bet we could learn another lesson if we exhale! [Verse 2: Sadistik] They say the dead never speak, maybe I don't listen To the sweet nothings in the crazy world I live in I'm in a flush grey Seattle on Monday, as the sun rays chase the shadows up hills With a child-like sentiment, catch me if you can it's a fight flight rhetoric Dancing on command till the night's light's setting in Fancy what you have, it's the zeitgeist yet again In hindsight to find my cause of d**h I chased my dreams then I lost my breath - get it? Am I clever with the words? Does it really really matter when you're entering a hearse? Look, I'm alone in a coma from the methadone searching for a saint that was frozen in a bed of snow And then I'll excavate the set of bones, easy come, easy go, better late than never though Here we go again, we can call it my defeat when my tongue is in my cheek for a solid ninety weeks Swallow pride and grief, it was all I really had, just so I can understand that is all that I can be And from a bird's-eye view, sixteen shots and I'll earn my dues Sixteen shots and the world I knew is a resting plot for the kerbside blues I see a city trapped in amber full of all the joy and the misery that's captured Bright lights emitting in a pattern by the fireflies like a symphony of lanterns [Hook: Kristoff Krane] [Verse 3: Bodi] Time to hit the road again, to get your soul again To lay the bricks, pave it all and make some golden skin A little alchemist bones made aluminum Castle nine clouds, dreams found a way to ruin 'em Back to the basics, laugh with a facelift Trapped in the gla** seek a crack that'll make it Fade into black before the demons attack And it'll all fall down just to build it back up Back to the wall as you crawl through the dust That's love, that's trust, that's what you gotta do When the only one to prove it to is you And you love it but you hate it and you made it on it on your own And wouldn't trade it for a thing until you're home Inhale, exhale, prevail Beauty all around even when we fail My holy grail is an empty cup But enough to keep me going so drink drink it up [Verse 4: Eyedea] That changes the whole scene, back breaking and no brain You call it a lack of sleep, I call it God's coke- Caine sugar, I'm eye to eye with what you're looking for Street smart, poison as a book worm I took turns trying to heal I look like I learned how to die when I fake a couple lies just to feel You took a breath and give power to powder Now life leaving your eyes looks like a fish pulled out the water It might be in disguise as the highest I can try Or your perfect lips, but don't lie to yourself if d**h ain't crawling towards Fall apart, my windows are all walls and doors It always seems simple when it's wearing the mask of small chore I'll force me onto me again From sea to shining sea I'll always drown in salt to keep my friends Weekends end and morning sick leaves my skin I've always been good with what was happening since I was kid Can you dig? You get the same off every hit But you keep the light till your hunger pains to feed your fix [Hook: Kristoff Krane] [Verse 5: Kristoff Krane] Give me the thumbs up, or middle finger On a scale from one to ten I'm a good dad but better sister It's so hard for you to get the clue Knowing your dream catcher Will never catch the pitch you threw If you knew better you prepare for the worst Either the worst gets the best of me Or the rest of me gets better first It's all the same capillaries closes down Crushing veins, the blood could never make it out Catch the fairy with the feather in your cap You gon pay a pretty penny for that pleasure in your lap The cat purrs with the promise that acts Like an actor who was always better in the past You got a chip on your shoulder, so it's cold Could have jumped hot springs, but instead waited for winter snow... So now we're all walking down the same road In the same pair of shoes ready to get back home! [Hook: Kristoff Krane]
