lyrics

[VERSE 1:]
“Standing at the damn crossroads of opportunity,
Who knew something so beautiful could treat you so brutally,
If you cast one wish then please do it prudently,
If questions need answers then please reply truthfully,
The ones you loved become ghosts inside,
And just like this is how you keep them alive,
That pretty face is just a disguise,
Now I realize I see the devil in those angel eyes,
Lessons learned and bridges burned,
Right now just going through some emotionless motions,
I’m at the best when I’m rhyming,
So to the top is where I keep climbing,
I’m a rockstar, around the world and back,
Going in just to give this beat a heart attack,
They’ve been saying guess who’s back,
I’ve been saying guess who snapped,
Get what you want before all these things fade to black…”

[HOOK:]
“You’re my favorite daydream,
I’m your famous nightmare,
Everything I see looks like gold,
Everything I touch turns cold,
Castles in the snow…”

[VERSE 2:]
“How long is forever let’s measure,
Take my hand and let’s go on this adventure,
Thinking time would make things better,
You can plan a picnic but can’t predict the weather,
And they say tomorrow never comes,
Build a time machine just to run from the sun,
It’s a gift and a curse,
Chase your dream until you’re riding around in that hearse,
This a type of tired I can’t sleep off,
And these are pictures I can’t look at,
These are colors that don’t exist,
Ignorance is perfect bliss,
No good deed goes unpunished,
And there’s no rest for the wicked,
It’s survival of the fittest,
Resistance or existence…”

[HOOK:]
“You’re my favorite daydream,
I’m your famous nightmare,
Everything I see looks like gold,
Everything I touch turns cold,
Castles in the snow…”

[OUTRO:]
“Here’s all I know,
Your checkered room and your velvet bow,
Your Elvis song in my ear,
That moonlit voice that I hear…”
