Outside My Window

Lay your head on my pillow And let the world just drift away and think about how long we go Without ever finding words to say and think about how much we know When it comes down to day 2 day The lives outside our windows Struggling to find their way You think you got it rough but someone always got it worse Take the time to recollect and live your life for all it's worth You can always make it better and it's always what they say But in your head you always thinking they don't understand my way They don't lead the life I live or the prices that I paid Mistakes they keep me shackled shit don't ever go away Daily troubles keep me baffled color in the shades of grey It's always hard to tackle learning lessons of the day Can't find some rest hold my pillow where I lay, And will I wake up gasping tryna find the words to say The question I keep asking will we see the better days As we push on through the struggles will we have a different gaze Same old vision of the world in disarray High definition heartache and blue ray Story of my life it could be a screen play close your eyes lay back And let the world drift away Lay your head on my pillow And let the world just drift away and think about how long we go Without ever finding words to say and think about how much we know When it comes down to day 2 day The lives outside our windows Struggling to find their way Watching the news on my 60 inch screen dude talking about a shooting Live from the scene all I'm thinking about is did he a family I see my own and their picture staring back at me Motivation from the people offended that me Cultivating a way to make it through another week Hesitating by the window looking in the street Pillows waiting damn I need some sleep Guess I'll get enough when I'm dead and gone A toast to the gutter on my tombstone Hope I live long enough to see my kids grown Give me pearly gates now fire and brimstone Slamming on my brakes burning up the Firestones Speaking to the world through my microphone Goodbye cruel world now my homie dead and gone Why did he do it damn I guess I'll never know Lay your head on my pillow And let the world just drift away and think about how long we go Without ever finding words to say and think about how much we know When it comes down to day 2 day The lives outside our windows struggling to find their way
