Notes to Self - Used to be Dark Lyrics
You set it up since grammar schoolYour faulty eye to bleeding throughSeen the cards would waste the youthOho, never see you coming at allOh, oh, no, never see you coming at allNote to self, Monday, early morningSun rose through the sky, looking purple orangeCool breeze gently whistles through the treesSo I listen to it speak, like it's whispering to meFeels like a new day, but really it's dependinNot on the way it starts but if it has a different endingWhat happens after the shot, the force that forces you backAfter the pops and after thought, but it happnes a lotYou settle up, it's far awayAs we climb across the shoreIt used to be dark, it used to be darkIt used to beOh, we never seen it coming at allNo, no, we never seen it coming at allThey took, dopy to interogationCuffs on my brother bronxGot me sitting like a suckerI guess this is the borderOn the road home looking out for signs for torontoOr a drive through mcdonaldsWe talk, words of encouragement, compassion and respectWhen underneath was baggage and resentSo deepWe couldn't wash it up out jackets with the soap peachCouldn't scrape it off our faces with the pro bleachMany months later, when the dust settleWhen the sky clear, when the cuts yellowGot sick of looking at the bus scheduleBronx, we ready for another one, wassup, helloI'm out with book in los angeles to master the beliefsAnd roll she left another heater on my answering machineYeah I flew here coach fin to fly home biznessWaking up at 7:30 from the time zone differenceAnd I blow the cash upon me, but I owe my dad some moneyAnd I owe my girl a night for all the time I'm out the countryI ain't tryina die alone, talking to this dial toneThey pat me down and peerson but I'm here sonFinally homeIt used to be dark, it used to be darkIt used to beIt used to be dark, it used to be darkIt used to beOh you never seen it coming at allOh, no, you never seen it coming at allTryina get home on this yellow brick road.
