1.West Coast
Me, I'm from a different type of left land, old wild west land
Nosebleeds, palm trees, and tumbleweeds rustling
Outside, they say it's happy here, but it's depressing
Too many pretty faces catching my attention
So I look at them, remind myself in the smudged glass,
'That pretty isn't everything, you punk ass'
Always hard to see past the surface, when it looks so perfect
But her eyes will disguise dirt on purpose, you listening?
I grew up here, under the sun, grade school, I was the odd one,
out of the bunch
I don't mean I was the kid who ate bugs for lunch,
I was the one who wasn't coming from where they're coming from
I speak poetically, and never pride my innocence, but this
California shit is rigorous
They say it's happy here, happiness is figurative,
I'm happy 'cause of me, doesn't matter where I'm living
If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith,
If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm waking up underneath sheets, naked still sweating
Slept in late so everyone else is ready
My friend called up, he said,
'Hurry up buddy, it's almost sundown already'
So I hopped up, I went and washed up,
I ate some pasta, then I gave my mom hugs
And then I thought, 'Uh, it's gonna be a pretty nice night'
But pretty isn't everything, right?
Golden state mind, I'm taking my time
Plain white shirt, and a skinny black tie
My top let down when I get picked up
P C H so California
Maybe they were right; happiness is a warm gun
But before you shoot, please warn us
Life is too fun, California will you marry me?
Let God be the sun and the ocean they shall bury me
If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith,
If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
2.No Grey
Money, money, money
First things first
I don't wanna be forgotten
Even worse
I don't wanna be alone
But if it all stops today
Ill probably say
I didn't waste a minute
When I'm finished
Brand new faith
And I'm ready for the camera's mention
And all I pay
And my money and my damn attention
Didn't get me the deal
Got me to feel
How you would hear my sentence
When I'm finished
You could do it for the money, money, money
But the money makes them all the same
Everything's sunny
But the sunshine fades away
Everything's black
And white
No grey.
Pitch black frames
You can see me when I wear my lenses
And all they say
Is I'm fake and I don't get offended
And when push comes to shove
Ill show enough
I didn't need to listen
When I'm finished
You're insane
What you said when I explain the game plan
Nothing's changed
Except a little more change in my hand
Now I don't mean to brag
Life was in fact
Non-witness shows of women
It's not finished
You could do it for the money, money, money
But the money makes them all the same
Everything's sunny
But the sunshine fades away
Everything's black
And white
No grey.
You ended up with gold
But it started as a dream
If I get cold,
Put some honey in my tea
I used to be broke, now there's money in my jeans
You could do it for the money, money, money
But the money makes them all the same
Everything's sunny
But the sunshine fades away
Everything's black
And white
No grey.
Everything's black
And white
No grey.
3.$ting
I tried to be someone
I liked to be someone else... For you
If I had done something
A little bit differently
We would of moved in a better direction
Than this, baby
If you were human
If you were who I assumed you were
You wouldn't have done this
I thought I did something
But she would do anything
To bring me down
She brought me down
Say that you love me
But you act like you don't
You use to adore me
Laughed at all my jokes
Don't take this the wrong way
You put me in harms way
When we had our first kiss it was your favorite thing
You went and lied and said all those things
Don't take this the wrong way
You put me in harms way
Imagine our children
Fuck would they be
Mommy the psycho
Daddy living the dream
Don't take this the wrong way
I told you I'm sorry
I can't thanks you enough
I thought I loved you but
We weren't in love
We weren't in love
You were my dream
We were fucked
You like to think
Push threw the back
You ignored all the problems to just hold what we had
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't take this the wrong way
