Ovadia - Comeback lyrics

This is what a comeback sounds like And it's downright insane I know you found my ingrained Desire to be unrestrained So I trained and trained And I strained and strained And barely maintained my sanity My vanity can go to hell, hand in hand with my apathy Pardon my profanity, but damn if we Don't make tapestries takin' humanity's chastity makin' it blasphemy That we all then call amnesty Have you ever wondered why you're here? I know, I know, I know, I know My soul would go so cold without this flow inside my bones But you're like a rhino in a China shop While I'm tryna stop ya from driving off With all the treasure that the world ever tried to save ya But at the end of the day, you forgot it all anyway! What's the point of trying if you're never gonna make it? What's the point of living if you're never gonna figure it out? It's about time someone told you “Get out the house Go smell the flowers in the garden now.” But you know all about that, don't you? Imperial measures show you That water's wet, and gra** is green But you never opened your eyes to things unseen See? That's the problem with you You never bothered to look past your rulers So busy measuring fact, you never saw the truth Even when it was right in front of you! So go try to measure beauty; Majesty, love, or duty; Justice and cruelty; I bet you'll find your ruler unruly But this ain't even about you now It's about all of us, and how we're bouncing round See we don't know where we're going, ‘cause we don't know where we started And we don't know where we started, ‘cause we're scared to acknowledge We're like sheep without a shepherd Or the salt without the pepper Defined by how we measure up against those who are lesser At least that's what we think, so we're under lots of pressure But don't listen to professor You got your own life, pry inside and find your own “why”s You tell me if you ain't trying to be better than the next guy Wanna be that best guy So you try, try, try While sly guys lie, my guys pry ply sigh cry My mind tries kind lines, my rhymes die I find it hard to deny That life is a tightrope high in the sky But that doesn't mean it's hopeless Hope you know this I've noticed That we're focused On the remotest Details of this hocus pocus Introverted and postin' The lowest parts of our lives The whole world's becoming myopic Oops, I mean myopic But the cosmic consequences of stopin' Are You know what? I'm done preachin' I'm making one final appeal to reason But then I'm leavin' ‘cause this life is yours, do whatever you please with it But here are some facts you can take them or leave them Believe me your life is barely a gleam in eternity's eye You're not even worth seeing But don't let it keep you from speaking Or worse yet, keep you from livin' This is all that you're given The first, last, and only chance to make a decision Or more simply put: the human condition So don't spend your life just wasting away: Live it!
