To put this into perspective properly, at the time I started Gold Version I was a delivery driver for a run-down Chinese Food Restaurant.
This song is a critique of my daily grind.
I just could never come up with a name for it.
[Verse 1]
Narrative
I am hazy in the morning
Splash Mountain my esophagus two warm cups of coffee
"Don’t open blinds yet!"
All the blind kids said it’s easier to navigate the sea of blankets when the sun’s fully risen
Welcome to my settlement
This is where the record spins
And the drugs never cease cycle till we’re settled under our caskets
We live a meager lifestyle and settle our darkness often
With a warm fire in our hearts when we also hold our passions
[Hook]
All my friends said that I was a mess and
All the elders say I haven’t earned my wings yet
I say "Fuck it, I’m doing my best!”
I don’t even bear a cross, but if I make it god bless
[Bridge]
Cold shackle my feet to the workbench
(Please!)
I’m begging you, sir, I really can’t lose this job
Money green money green is all you’ll ever see
Whether you never have enough or you're never in need
I’m a nearly 20-something
Still living at home
Mental too complex to function
Weaning myself to the “all alone”
But when I’m not working or conversing
I’d rather smoke and stop my fears from rattling my bones
[Verse 2]
Narrative
I am lazy in the evening
With a orange-purple sunset and a pocket full of earnings
Sluggish-style eye sight
Concentration failing
Drowning in the heaviness of humanity and loss
You don’t judge a fish by its ability to fly
You either praise it on your mantle piece
Or serve it with a drink and fries
Bring about your common sense they need to learn a lesson
We’re all nearly 20-something
With a gut of ambition and a pocket full of nothing
[Hook]
Lincoln log aims his wooden castle to the sun
The Babyl rabble say they use these stones to build to god
But when your logs are full of water and all your stones have turned dust
You still won’t be alone, so it’s best to thank everyone
