protextor - skeletons lyrics

[verse 1]
let’s go back to that corner
in a little iowa city
you’d probably just call nowhere
avoidin’ lonely nights by paintin’ with loners
i’m chasin’ a roll+up
with general tso and a grape soda
taste of china on break from next door
stackin’ videotapes at minimum wage
it’s late, we stay open
writin’ verses on receipt paper
while i play area 51
with 2 guns on 2 player
load up
home studio in the bedroom on the 8th floor
record 8 takes
hate ‘em and tape over ‘em
i got templates for jewel casеs
and 2+page slips
so i can take photos
and make morе
i hate these local shows i should move weight and play tours
i’ll get it on take four if you wanna stay for it
ooh baby magic 8 ball told me reply hazy
and to wait for it
i’m gonna flip over this whole game board
[chorus]
i don’t want to let go of my past
but i don’t want to live there either
every day i get with you feels fast
why’s it still so hard to be here?

[verse 2]
it’s not a healthy choice
barely a hungry man
but i’m so paranoid
n0body loves me and
i probably annoyed
all of my closest friends
when i’m shown love i try to trust it but
i’m a jack+o+lantern
when i’m hacked and slashed i only
get more interestin’
you can gut me
but you’ll find the seeds of some good ideas
in my intestines
and my job is to impress adults
but not impress children
childlike empress blessed me
so now i’m invinci–
but never less inventive
unrepentant winner
blood is restless
one+dimension done
infinite left and
i stole the portal gun from rick’s dresser
kids, get in
so forgive me if i’m burning bridges on an open tape
i seek forgiveness for the sh+t i did growing thru growin pains
but i did it for the city every week and i’d go again
just to walk up to a cypher in a circle on the deck
and to throw my weight behind you if you wanna be on stage
in line to wait
i’m sorry that it had to go away
i still believe in you homie
it’s that road that we don’t take
grow that rose to a bouquet
don’t get stoned on the old days
[chorus]
i don’t want to let go of my past
but i don’t want to live there either
every day i get with you feels fast
why’s it still so hard to be here?

[bridge]
skeletons don’t live in closets
they’re underground
just starin’ up at us
the present ground where the flowers blossom
is the buried past that we walk on top of
skeletons don’t carry grudges
they belong to us
we prepared the coffins
just remember when the flowers blossom
they’re not gone
we just walk on top of ’em

[outro]
and i know and i know and i know that you’re trying so hard
cuz you can always figure it out
but figurin’ it out never lasts
and i know and i know and i know and i know yeah
cuz you can always figure it out
but you can’t force n0body to care
you can always figure it out
but where do we go from here?
