lyrics

VERSE 1:
There's a blue bird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me

And I just wade the tides to turn
Till I learn to leave the past behind

HOOK:

It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
I guess I’m doing fine?

VERSE 2:
All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
I got no time to watch them grow

Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me

HOOK:
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Oh, oh… Guess I'm doing fine
I guess I’m doing fine?

RAP:

Counting’ the cracks in the ceiling
My bathwater turned cold
Sinking in my own darkness
Letting my past unfold
The only currency I’d accept at this point
Is memories, beautiful prose
Too dim to read
A lime light that’s flickering’
Blinking’ on and off
Not everything that shines, shines bright in this industry
My old soul got sold
I paved these streets of gold with red soles
Louboutins and I’m in vintage clothes
Lyrics got written and then re-written for
My magnum opus right is an unfinished song
Right now I’m unsure if I’ll finish this race
What is to win if winning isn’t gold?
You’ll never look me in my eyes
That’s why these tinted gold frames are on my eyes
I didn’t miss a show
I never missed a beat
Some parties where I didn’t go
I gave this whole thing my all, what if it didn’t grow?
No, what if it doesn’t grow?
I gave my own self an out… but look, I didn’t go
That’s when you know for sure what it is you’re intended for
You get the chance to leave
You get the chance to leave
But then you find that you haven’t got the will to go
I’m in between
I’m in and out
Im spinning on my own wheels
My permanent state of mind is undecided
Like is it yes? Or is it no?
I guess I’m doing fine, until it is a no
