lirik lagu calm. (usa) - old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
legends turn to competition, heroes turn to rivals
real friends turn to fake friends over dividends
where do we begin, my own blood i’m slipping in
plastic trees and smiles is the landscape i’m living in
selfie sticks and publicists, welcome to oblivion
contradicting contracts amendments written in
thinking bout my clothes to the game i’m giving in
parties and bullsh~t, contests for p~ssing in
broken promises, vivid sin, picture it
staring at my hero and his face cracked off
the make up started to mеlt, i saw another boss
fertilized by forgivеness, we grew apart
simply for the fact that i grew a heart
and all my day ones overdosed or they hate me now
they went on the next trend, empty show i take a bow
old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
the ones that used to love you are pointing their rifles
i’ve read the koran, the torah, and the bible
but betrayal still hurts, lord help me break the cycle
old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
the ones that used to love you are pointing their rifles
i’ve read the koran, the torah, and the bible
but betrayal still hurts, lord help me break the cycle
this isn’t a song it’s a clenched fist don’t sing along to this
everything i hate about you i put it on this laundry list
then i burned it and pushed nietzsche into the abyss
he grabbed me as he fell he took off his face and it looked like chris
the whole earth’s a prison when you’re running from yourself
no 1~800 line can help, when your drowning in debt and guilt
ain’t it funny we’ve been poisoned by the dream of peace and money
are we dummies cause we have a boss, a land lord and we’re ruled by cops?
each blade in my back a life lesson, listen and learn to question
king like tekken, slouching towards nirvana from the weight of the weapons
depression led to introspection, i saw the connection
of those who i showed my soul amd who only offered me rejection
i don’t want perfection i just want insurrection
to solve the civil wars in my mind and give me some direction
above the clouds i hear the brass section, the reaper beckons
slay the don, dead idols, no need for resurrection
old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
the ones that used to love you are pointing their rifles
i’ve read the koran, the torah, and the bible
but betrayal still hurts, lord help me break the cycle
old gods, dead kings, shattered idols
the ones that used to love you are pointing their rifles
i’ve read the koran, the torah, and the bible
but betrayal still hurts, lord help me break the cycle
who would’ve known that gold in your pocket was an anchor?
how many things are k!lling us, that we think are saviors?
we used to be fam but now we’re strangers words get tangled
i’m in a jungle of press releases being stifled and strangled
they see you as a come up, dumb down or dumb up?
i’m another bum in this music world trying to hitch hike the charts with my thumb up
now you writing songs for topics you don’t even care about
now you’re feeling empty and your souls looking for its whereabouts
dear trust fund rappers i can’t go on your tour
cause i’m working 3 jobs trying to maneuver through manure
we don’t always grow from the fight sometimes its from the surrender
this is a lesson from nature that i struggle to remember
i’m not looking for life in the universe i’m looking for life in you
i’m looking for forgiveness to find the love in you
staring at the stage lights at a sold out show, focus is a must
but those weren’t stage lights they were the headlights of a bus
i used to have your poster hung up on my wall
ripped it off long ago when we opened for you at your show
you treated me like a groupie instead of an artist
but honestly i can’t tell the difference
cause people brownnose and blood suck to make up the difference
is a suicidal person just being honest?
like saying how the cemetery is modest
you say were fam but silent about the label
friends won’t let me open betrayal carved on the table
i was cowardly to put that in the open
def jam took the song with no credit but i don’t regret it
cause we did it for pops, i’ll never doubt it for a second
the cameras zoom out i see my whole life was a set
my friends were all actors, they went home to their pets
they packed up the grass, the sky and insects
i sit in the darkness as the credits roll around my neck
