LYRICS
If I can just be honest,
I think I’d rather be on it,
Nothing is real or what it seems,
I’m living a lie but it’s a nice dream,
Where are my golden opportunities?
Is it business as usual if you’re overseas?
Is it too late for a change of pace?
Or is it slow and steady wins the race?
I’ll be heading for the finish line,
Final lap in the nick of time,
Black or white, good or bad it's so intertwined,
If the shoe fits, you couldn’t walk in none of mine,
Pantomime, trouble never falls far behind,
Feel the weight,
Pull the pin and watch it detonate,
Drop bombs now we barely even demonstrate,
Old news, now tin hat views,
Forgot about and washed off like fake tattoos,
But it’s stained in me,
Class ingrained in me,
Like a mirror came with me, everywhere that I go,
No secrets in my past, all my demons on show,
Therapy in every session of flow,
Now run it back, like a lifeline,
Cut me deep, I hold a grudge for a lifetime,
No liberation, on this road full of potholes,
Sell me a dream, but the script is full of plot holes – be honest
If I can just be honest,
I think I’d rather be on it,
Nothing is real or what it seems,
I’m living a lie but it’s a nice dream,
Where are my golden opportunities?
Is it business as usual if you’re overseas?
Is it too late for a change of pace?
Or is it slow and steady wins the race?
How do I describe some of these friends?
Pick me flowers with thorns in the stems,
Diamonds in the dirt, who stole most of my gems,
Real snake-like, the outline of the Thames,
Put yourself first it won’t last long,
I’ve been going slow and steady on a fast song,
Funny everybody walking with a mask on,
Being two-faced really did seem to catch on,
I can see through it,
I can really tell truant,
If it sounds like he talks shit, trust that he’s fluent,
I don’t need to question if the loves fake,
I can feel the vibrations in the handshake,
So I stay shore if you’re invading my land,
I’m on the beach with a line in the sand,
Trying to make it through the day any way that I can,
Being honest only thing that I plan
If I can just be honest,
I think I’d rather be on it,
Nothing is real or what it seems,
I’m living a lie but it’s a nice dream,
Where are my golden opportunities?
Is it business as usual if you’re overseas?
Is it too late for a change of pace?
Or is it slow and steady wins the race?
If I can just be honest,
(I’d rather, I’d rather, I’d rather)
I think I’d rather be on it,
(I’d rather, I’d rather, I’d rather)
