thomas burgundy - primary hues (outro that never ends) lyrics

[intro: christof from the truman show]
we accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented, it’s as simple as that

[verse 1]
i feel like a bird in an elevator
heading upwards forgetting i could fly
cause i’ve been confined to this building for so long
i thought the top floor was the highest i could go
cause i never been outside, see
see i was born here
this is probably where imma die
but look at these roses that i water every day
they’re in a vase
they tell me they feel out of place
we conversate cause we relate
i don’t know how we’re both still alive
but
i don’t know what i’m talking about half the time i’m talking about it
cause all i know is all i know
but even that i think i doubt it
see i do know ignorance is bliss
but ignorance is the same thing that’s kept me like this
and knowledge is power but
i don’t know what to do with it
cause the more i know, the more i’m stressed
matterfact, the more i know, the more i’m p-ssed
so if i sound mad, it’s cause i am
reflecting on my reality that’s just secondhand
and i define myself by another man’s definition
living in an overpopulated state of mind
just following tradition
see art imitates life then imitates art from that new dimension
til i can’t tell the difference
between metaphysics, internet, and television
so as the record’s spinning
catch a glimpse of my perspective
welcome to my frame of reference
welcome to my frame of reference, yeah
just hope you see my frame of reference
this is just my frame of reference
paint a picture with the paint i was given

[howard beale from network]
but man…
your’e never gonna get any truth from us
we’ll tell you anything you want to hear, we lie like h-ll
we deal in illusions, man. none of it is true! but you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds – we’re all you know
you’re beginning to believe the illusions we’re spinning here. you’re beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal
you do whatever the tube tells you. you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube
you even think like the tube. this is m-ss madness. you maniacs. in god’s name, you people are the real thing
we are the illusion
so if you want the truth, go to god
go to your gurus
go to yourself
because that’s the only place you’re ever gonna find any real truth

[verse 2]
another black and brown kid raised by a single mother
with self-ident-ty issues and an undying hunger
for closure
closure that i’ll never get
especially where i’m looking, i don’t know what i expect
so forgive me for receiving guidance from my favorite rappers
forgive me lord but i never related to my pastors
i know you sent your son to die on the cross for my sins
but they painted him caucasian, see where that disconnect begins?
cause the prince of peace came from the middle east
and my country claims they represent what he teaches
but if jesus tried to come into my country today
they wouldn’t let him in
what makes you think they’ll ever accept me?
but i’m trying not to focus so much on the latter
cause that don’t even matter
man none of these even matters
cause all of this is gonna fade away
the only thing that lasts is god’s word
what do god gotta say?
if we could just love one another
if we could all love one another
even when they hate you can you love one another?
god is love, can we love one another?
there’s nothing new under the sun so let me quit stressing
wisdom’s calling me, she’s tryna teach a quick lesson
and god told me all i got is love and music
so im’ma give it to the world and hope that they could use it

[outro]
this is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just because
this is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just because
this is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just because
this is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just because
this is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just becausethis is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
my people started singing it not knowing what it was
and we’ll continue singing it forever just because
[horatio]
everyone goes… everyone comes and leaves
no one was meant to live forever
people will die
you could die right now, i could die right now
but that’s why we have to learn how to be tough
cause life, especially won’t be easy for us. life won’t be easy for us daishanay
that’s why we need to learn how to be tough like, your friend might die in front of you, that’s why i’m saying you need to be tough…
