the empire project - throne of anubis lyrics

[verse 1: neeks (the empire project)]
remember back when i was little
and you were there for me
how you promised me, when i was born
that you would care for me
and everybody swore that you would be the greatest therapy
swore to heal all of my wounds
promised me a future that you knew wasn’t guarantee
and i gave you my trust
how could you embarr-ss me?
but the truth became evident
through scenes that my eyes couldn’t bare to see
staying up till morning
too scared to sleep
you coulda claimed me
while i was counting prairie sheep
one’s life isn’t fair to keep
and it wasn’t just a couple crimes
and we’ve shaken hands
more than just a couple times
and i’ve smiled to your face
and you’ve smiled in mine
the same one you smacked
as you p-ssed
and the thing i hate about you most
is that you took my time
and you won’t let me go, back, to the past
i’m in the mirror
turn on the faucet
let it pour
and pray today, that it’s a fountain of youth
wash my face
look in the mirror
and hope to see a younger me
but the mirror speaks a mountain of truth
i’m doubting it
counting it out now
spout at the mouth
with every spec of sand in the hourgl-ss
headed south-bound
the wounds you were supposed to heal
they still bled
forgive you
i can never forget though
what you said
the promises you made me
echo in my head
i may hold this grudge forever
i can let go when i’m dead
nothing gets me mad
more than a deadbeat dead
what a deadbeat dad, father time

[verse 2: neeks (the empire project)]
smashing every clock that i see
cuz it won’t fucking stop ticking
tock tickety tock tick and
the plot thickens
my watch, ripping it off
the fuck am i lock-picking pandora’s box for?
why you always gotta play with fire
when you know your a can of gasoline
making the flames higher

and a p-ssion will burn in me
for all of eternity
just like a third degree
you’ll be the one to throw the dirt on me
you’re knock-knocking on the door
tick tock, and you disturb the beat
so by the time you come to murder me
i’ll be d-mn sure the world has, heard of me
bury me
put the nail in the casket
but let em know that they can’t k!ll p-ssion

there’s nothing you can tell me
there’s nothing you can say
may not be here tomorrow
thank god i’m here today

i hear my timer ticking
growing louder every second
but i won’t stop for no one
cuz there’s no way to reset it

you take away my people
and you never even ask
you never even warn us
and you hide behind that mask

you know i tried to hate you
but maybe you’re not so bad
though i don’t understand you
you taught me to appreciate what i had
taught me to appreciate what i have
appreciate what i have
taught me to appreciate what i have

[verse 3: neeks (the empire project) & dan cordi]
it was ambition
you made me feel like i was running outta time
i’m done wishin’
you showed me how to take the world and make it mine
it was loss
that taught me to appreciate what i’ve got
it was you
who taught me to make something out of what i’m not
of what i’m not
you taught me to turn my negatives into positives
never for naught
i, never forgot!
take my imperfections and give me something to reach for
that was a lot
it was a lot
and if i wasn’t for the time ticking away
then i probably woulda rot
i would rot
so while i tried so hard to hate you
it was you who made me give it a shot
i gave it a shot
put my heart into it all cause eventually
the music stops
it’s gonna stop
