I'll Be Gone

(альбом: Stuck On An Island - 2010)

[Wrekonize:]
You knew this would come, the damage is done
The little faith I had is lost
I bandaged the sun, loaded my gun
Cause I got lines that I can't cross
Here I am thinking we'd coexist
Maybe share a favorite song
But depending what day has dawned or what stage I'm on
I can't even tell my right from wrong
Went to a better place
A quiet spot I can meditate
I swear ill change for heavens sake
But y'all don't wanna' let me medicate
You thought I was in a better state
But I must lust like every ape
So bring me down your painted crown
I like respect don't hesitate
I've seen your bitter lies
You call that shit civilized?
I'll just watch you killers die and try my best to figure why we...
We, we can't have drawn this water color con
See while I'm breathing I'll be singing songs but by the time you hear this I'll be gone

[Burnz:]
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone

Buried alive, I knew too much
A danger every time I spoke
My father's advice went always unheard
He never trusted rock & roll
Here I am thinking we'd coexist
Maybe share a favorite song
But by the time I'm gone
It'll be too late to make up for all those moments lost
What you now hear
I probably thought about last year
I got two steps ahead, took one back
And still needed help and a ride here
I'm gone
See you in the afterlife
Here today but won't last the night
We vampires; run from the sun
Still high off the taste of the last bite
Got past lives on film slides tucked deep inside these drunk rhymes
I syphon up-rock then I croak
Broke down on the myth of a good life
Fabels...
Life's pressure slowly carved these words to precious stones, saying maybe someone up there knew
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone

By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
By the time you hear this, I'll be gone
