the people i've never met are high class royalty,
their connections never filled with salt or jealousy,
and sure thing we don't have any material memories,
but our endless commitment built its own sanctuaries.
im living my life in the high ends,
might be down every couple days but without them i dont need to make amends,
built a wooden house with them so we could sit in a circle and hold hands,
but instead we lit matches - let it burn down into ashes.
you had the privilege to look into my eyes,
yeah i said it, now i realize im doing better so pick a fight with someone your size,
might sound selfish but i know all the good stuff my trust buys,
when i remember all the things you told me i just think "hmmm... lies".
to the people i've never met im so sorry,
i put trust in the hands of the physical like i was blind and they were a sky so starry,
i should've known you were right there on a screen in a dark night,
I'll put my time into you, I'll make it all right.
