Yo
Yo
Well, another notch in your belt
Guess you shouldn't have played the
Dodgy hand you been dealt
You got something to say, yup
You got words you can sell?
Write 'em down on the page and
Bring some worth to yourself
If I recall correctly
When you first met me
My chest was empty
You weren't afraid to check me
But two hundred days of heavy
Expectation left me cold
I hit eject, I saw the fire go with me
As my whole head in cruise control, so
Oh tell me what road we're on
Switch gears, over the years
Too many times before
Oh tell me what's goin' on
Mmm
Old scars like broken cars that I can't drive no more
Change, your locks again
Find yourself lookin' in the mirror wishin' you had not again
Bookin' in a dinner only to depart again
Turn the page and you start again
I know about myself
I'm a man of principle
Principally feeding inconsistent instances of mincing my intentions
And greetin' friends with gritted teeth and ritual
And with them pretty girls
It's only ever visual
I wish that it was spiritual
And I ain't bein' clever but
I never stick to more than the residual
It's pitiful
Oh I've been told
My heart is cold
My body's young
But
My mind is old
Always pick the ones
Come out a broken home
But I'm a loaded gun
Stick to what you know
Oh tell me what road we're on
Switch gears, over the years
Too many times before
Oh tell me what's goin' on
Mmm
Old scars like broken cars that I can't drive no more
Sticks and stones, break your bones
But her chest is bleedin' when she's on the phone
Cuts on her thighs so her scars don't show
But I see it in her eyes when her ass is stoned
Slow it down
Keep it in your head when there're friends around
Don't tell her now
Keep her in your bed when you're feeling down
