[Verse 1]
The concrete looked beautiful when my face hit it
After I pulled the wool from my eyes
Rocking rose-colored glasses with faith in ‘em
So reality is somewhat of a surprise
From it, mother and father shielded me
But I knew how those cards were dealt
The way to win the game was revealed to me
But I chose to put those gems on the shelf
My artistry was lethargic, I knew what I was doin’
The fact is I really didn’t care
I was given the knowledge to bring empires to ruin
But it was easier for me to act scared
What do you do when you don’t wanna do a thing?
And you’re a caged bird without a song to sing?
And my song wasn’t taken from me, it was surrendered
See I’m in line, following the crowd by choice
[Refrain]
By choice (x4)
[Chorus]
Never been a master, only wanted servant
Vigilant disaster but it’s perfect, sinking faster, is it worth it?
Time is of the essence but your present is a wasted gift
Lessons are ejected, it’s too much to press until you sit
In your own iniquity while basking in your solitude
Your history of vagabond only strengthens your attitude
Empty purpose solo mission, never tried to listen
But a dying star can’t sustain a solar system
The concrete looked beautiful when my face hit it
After I pulled the wool from my eyes
Rocking rose-colored glasses with faith in ‘em
So reality is somewhat of a surprise
From it, mother and father shielded me
But I knew how those cards were dealt
The way to win the game was revealed to me
But I chose to put those gems on the shelf
My artistry was lethargic, I knew what I was doin’
The fact is I really didn’t care
I was given the knowledge to bring empires to ruin
But it was easier for me to act scared
What do you do when you don’t wanna do a thing?
And you’re a caged bird without a song to sing?
And my song wasn’t taken from me, it was surrendered
See I’m in line, following the crowd by choice
[Refrain]
By choice (x4)
[Chorus]
Never been a master, only wanted servant
Vigilant disaster but it’s perfect, sinking faster, is it worth it?
Time is of the essence but your present is a wasted gift
Lessons are ejected, it’s too much to press until you sit
In your own iniquity while basking in your solitude
Your history of vagabond only strengthens your attitude
Empty purpose solo mission, never tried to listen
But a dying star can’t sustain a solar system
