The Light You Burned
(专辑: State Of The Art - 2009)
[CHORUS] I
thought we had, Such a
good thing going, Now the
light you burned, Is dying out so slowly [VERSE 1: PRESSURE] For starters, ain't heartless I
don't hate them, But I
was starving and parted our relations, I
never live in the
past like the
forsaken, I
was ill, you were never the
master of your patience, We were martyrs for this mayhem, Now you're passing your ass out to artists as replacements, I
know it's harder to father than to make friends, But you see I'm proud regardless where my day ends, It was a
task to ask you just to pay rent, And you laughed cause my heart was in the
basement, Never targeted the
market just to make ends, Wasn't all scars there were parts of it that made sense, Walking away were the
hardest conversations, Hope you learned if you're smart you shouldn't date friends, And I
still don't understand you, So I
gotta say fuck you, thank you [CHORUS] I
thought we had, Man I
thought that we had, Such a
good thing going, But we don't, but we don't, but we don't, Now the
light you burned, Now the
light that you burned, Is dying out so slowly, And we go, and we go, and we go [VERSE 2: TRIALS] Must be hard trying to keep the
facade, Here we are, you nothing, me needing a
laugh, Went from driving to not even a
seat in the
car, Still lying now to kissing every cheek of my ass, From family tree, to just another leaf in the
park, Hope those bright ideas help you see in the
dark, It's like first, you say something, second, you blame others, Third burn the
bridge like the
first Rage cover, But they don't know and they never will what we've been through, It's not you, it's me, nah it's you, I
got a
lot of love for things you did, If it only added up to all the
things you missed, Guess that's it, heard that you were running with him, Saw you settled down now and had a
couple of kids, Shit the
world keeps spinning like a
bottle top, See the
light you burned started something that I
aint gonna stop [CHORUS] I
thought we had, Man I
thought that we had, Such a
good thing going, But we don't, but we don't, but we don't, Now the
light you burned, Now the
light that you burned, Is dying out so slowly, And we go, and we go, and we go [VERSE 3: SUFFA] What a
soulful old anthem, You used to burn brighter now you couldn't hold a
lighter to a
lantern, Went from fighter to a
phantom, Invited inside of my life but you a
bantam, Weight, with some heavyweight issues, Had to separate with you, get you heavy grade tissues, For all your mood swings, so not amusing, You could blow the
rock out a
mood ring, You can blow the
rocks and the
tubing, You can go super hoe the
block for a
shoestring, Budget for all I
care and this is what I
got, For all my caring? So fuck it, Nah I
ain't sleeping on the
couch, you can sleep on the
carpet, I'm a
take the
bed and sleep like a
starfish, Hog all the
blankets, and sleep off the
lagers, And wake up in the
morning like we feeling marvelous [CHORUS] I
thought we had, Man I
thought that we had, Such a
good thing going, But we don't, but we don't, but we don't, Now the
light you burned, Now the
light that you burned, Is dying out so slowly, And we go, and we go, and we go, I
thought we had, Man I
thought that we had, Such a
good thing going, But we don't, but we don't, but we don't, Now the
light you burned, Now the
light that you burned, Is dying out so slowly, And we go, and we go, and we go
