Look
I'll paint a few words to confess
I wish we little knew about the west
Now we all believe in the same stress
Fight to keep our minds calm
While the soul lives unrest
I wish we drove around and told the town
There's no room for our bulletproof chests
Or a proof that we aim for the head
Not a neck
Shoot our love up
Let it sound like a gap
We sound like a trap hanged up on the same page
Way too attached to call each other old names
Soon as it's time to refrain
We say hold up
Where's the joy?
Not half as known
It sleeps on a coy
Doesn’t drive a Royce
We should know the joy
Or hate to look just like every single one of them
While listening to opinions when asking none
Dance for the views or the fun
When it won’t save the world from our esteem
Or be proud of posing too fresh on camera
To end up making us jealous for an ice-cream
I promise
It ain’t quite what we’ve been looking for
We can’t love a price tag?
Time to let it go
Feel the freedom to decide
Choose our way to glow
If we run in silence
We'll be left on hold
It’s about a sacrifice
Needless crosses to crystallize
We’ve been feeling so so fine
Yet will never grow until we can seed
Colors on the low
Colors on the side
Colors of the globe
Colorless to hide
Colors for the bank
Colors to survive
Colors that we see without acting sanctified
Feeling moody
For the things we’re doing
We've been on the moon
Away from our friends
It couldn't take us to see us
Through our raw flesh
They got flash
We pose
They got cash
We blow
When they dash
We walk beside them
Trust me
They got all to choose
Besides our love
Don’t go out
We can’t see them overseas
They're comfortable everywhere
We’re diseased
They fell in love for the forbidden fruit
So we share the truth and dig up the roots
Colors on the low
Colors on the side
Colors of the globe
Colorless to hide
Colors for the bank
Colors to survive
Colors that we see without acting sanctified
