Beyond the Pine

Rose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nWhat kind of man can survive without some damn pride\nPut my cards on the table, laid 'em all face up\nExcept that ace in my sleeve that I still keep tucked\nHead full of poems burried in gold\nLike a young King Tut\nTill you wake up like Midas\nAnd you curse with everything you touch\nTurn your girl solid gold and you’ll see what’s what\nDark days when the sun shines brighter\nAnd you lost what you love but you started that fire\nRegret’s a cold bitch that’ll stab you with an ice pick\nJust deep enough until you finally learn to like it\nOr atleast accept it’s all part of life, shit\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nLos Angeles, New York, my tale of two cities\nL.A. I started breathing\nN.Y. I started living\nEighteen years of freeways and palm trees\nTraded it for the subways and zombies\nHated every winner and the price of some bomb weed\nBut I loved the way the city never sleeps\nJust like me\nBlood shot whites in my iris' coffee\nHandcuffed to memories, I write to unlock these\nStories out my heart-shaped box and let 'em walk free\nBreathing out some life while all of these bodies dropping\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nRose up out the grave where we used to lie\nNow I’m running through the world\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide\nNo I can’t hide
