Paramount

Waited here for so long now

Shots fired at those who want me phased out

Don't have the time unless it's right now

Paramount is so far down if you can't hold the crown

They call me arsonist, 'cause if doubt takes hold of my soul, I burn it out

So, what you gonna do when there's nothing left to prove

And the rain washes over the truth?

But they don't want to see me go away

Would've never thought it'd feel so wrong to stay

Can't hear my ghosts through shattered windows

We sold the same idea, reminds me of the color gray, got the memory engraved

I let it all fade to ash, nothing lasts down here

So farewell, my dear

I leave the city too fast, I could never relax, so disappear

So, check your pulse, couldn't ever come close to who I am

And when midnight falls, I'll be better off alone, 'cause it's all I have

Watch me hit the flatline, then I recover again

But at the same time, you do what you can

To tear me down, shut me out like it's so critical

Dangerous intent, don't even have a motive

Look to the sky and watch it open

A gateway to greed and shame, the world we live in

But no one, no one can take everything they deserve and fix

An old would that's hiding in the back room

Over this shit, you don't know what I go through

So, when you see me at the bottom and you panic at the thought of

No one writing off the hate to forget we were never the same

So, check your pulse, couldn't ever come close to who I am

And when midnight falls, I'll be better off alone, 'cause it's all I have

Watch me hit the flatline, then I recover again

But at the same time, you do what you can

To tear me down, shut me out like it's so critical

For every day there's a helpless victim

There's a man at the end of his line

And every minute that it's justified is just a waste of life

Never saw it coming, 'cause I hit the ground moving

So, check your pulse, couldn't ever come close to who I am

And when midnight falls, I'll be better off alone, 'cause it's all I have

Watch me hit the flatline, then I recover again

But at the same time, you do what you can

To tear me down, shut me out like it's so critical
