you've got It all every little thing you've won but you don't know who you are are you getting exactly what you want? are these your winnings? is this what it looks like? being true to the waters livin inside of you? to the tide you can't deny cause if you can have anything you want, can I know, from you, what's worth wanting you sold it all kept nothing for yourself they never wanted you to know exactly who you are then you would get exactly what they want all their winnings is this what it looks like? it's the one missed game thas watchin me not so great as the lie I believed you can't waste your time here like I did, not believing in your take your gentleness it is a waste if you don't know what you've already won

This House 03:54
first i'll trade my youth, for the life that you say I'll get to live, nice clothes, new car, clean shoes, payin restaurants, own house. i felt like I held it all, cause this house is holdin me down. next i'll give my life, for her love that shines the most in the dealership, nice legs, new rack, great love, too bad she just moved out. but I'll keep my shit together, cause this house is holdin me down. last i'll trade my love, for her youth now that I'm old alone, she's young, big fun, so young, and look she's twice as hot. but I can't move like I used to, cause this house is holdin me down.

my baby, let’s me love her strange my babys, got too much she needs to complain about like her friends don't like me much so we keep it on the hush cause i am where she goes when she goes for days and days and days I don’t ever know if we’ll stay but we go anyway your girlfriend reads me too well my baby knows that I don't kiss and tell and my friends don't know her much cause we keep it on the hush in my alley screaming at the top of her lungs every part of her face wants to say we're done but when she's tired she knows I'll give her sleep she'll come back and turn those days back into weeks i am where she goes when she goes where you don't know

i didn't get paid today, same that they paid yesterday and tomorrow it might be more or less, no stress. cause these days our(all) mine don't mind pulling overtime anymore cause your time aint over me come to my job on my birthday come see me work while you play drinking down what you made swallowing what you're paid istill own every second of my life don't think twice you can't pocket days no bank for the time you'd save anyway what happend to the seconds of ur life? don't think twice who stole your sweat today? same man who took it yesterday, wiped it up wrung it out in his own damn bucket cause this days all mine don't mind pulling overtime any more cause your time aint over me i'm peering in the pyramids checking out the many rooms comparing it to where I live but this is just a fancy tomb remembering where I’ve been the gift that they prepared for you that wrapping is just bandages made you pay for your own tomb with seconds of your life don’t you think twice what happened to your time falling there in line

Sleep 03:34
there's no relief for a broken heart trying to hold up love with a shattered core get it out put it down you can forget sleep will come and save you from your broken thoughts if you can let it in cause maybe something that's inside you just won't let go til you're absolutely sure that at least the sun still rises In the morning sleep will come and when you know that the night will soon be gone sleep will come and save you from yourself where is the sleep, for the weary mind that needs it most and can't unwind put it down to forget sleep will come sometimes, when you feel like dying you should just be dead to the world and when you feel like you should end it all, just call on sleep to save you from yourself
