lyrics

Don’t tie your hopes to my kite
On windy days I’ve been know to let it fly
Oh so far away from me until I see it kissin’ the horizon
Lost at sea not near to me and everything that I’m ashamed that I’ve done

And it’s hard to live like this
Pressure building up you’ll catch me balling up my fist
Ballin’ crying I’m denying what I’m feeling on the inside
Feelin’ washed up like a riptide, black eye fatlip like the Pharcyde yeah
Or should I say Sum-41, 25 feeling more like I’m 41
If I was from New York I’d be sippin’ on a 40 son but that was not my fate so all this Prazsky got me goin’ dumb
Hopefully I’m going numb
Soon enough
Pain is in my heart I’d rather dart away than open up
Rather run from situations when the goings tough
Or close communication every time that I am facing stuff
Gotta face it b you shouldn’t put your faith in my
‘cause I’ve been failing since ‘Insomnia’ by Faithless see
Jimbo Jones when I’m feeling alone my soul is chafing me
My kite is blowing away, my past is chasing me

Don’t tie your hopes to my kite
On windy days I’ve been know to let it fly
Oh so far away from me until I see it kissin’ the horizon
Lost at sea not near to me and everything that I’m ashamed that I’ve done

So don’t go placing expectations on me
I’m still tryna find out what it means to be free
I’m not a safe bet for you to put your money on
Lost a paycheck on me and now your money’s gone
Everyday checking on me like I’m an investment
Spend your wages on my like I’m something to invest in
Gonna lose big if you take the gamble
On this bufoon living off guitars and samples
Let me beats rock make your trunk rattle when my vocals get distorted like I’m going into battle
Get the horses, ready up the saddle
I’ve never been the type to follow trends like cattle
Hopefully one day I’m blowing up in a major way like it’s ‘88 and my music’s great and I’m making grunge up in Seattle

Don’t tie your hopes to my kite
On windy days I’ve been know to let it fly
Oh so far away from me until I see it kissin’ the horizon
Lost at sea not near to me and everything that I’m ashamed that I’ve done
