Sisyphus
[Verse 1]
Open air, we're on radio waves
It's fitting, it's the rainiest day
Tornadoes wreck the town, comin' down the alleyway
Hurricanes, they circle drains
I've got this pressure in my brain
Building till I reach this fame
I'm a starving artist, man
I deal with hunger pangs
Sisyphus, my synonym
Put it up, won't crumble under the pain
Stay by my side even when you see me fail
I need you to still keep watching
Even when the show ends
Even Tony Hawk missed an occasional rail
I've burned through all my cigarettes
All I have left is my friends
If I drop the ball like Jack and jill's pail
And I fall and I crack my crown on the pavement
I'm gonna get back up and just take it
Everything I see is or should be mine
So it's...
[Verse 2]
So it's up the hill I climb
I left some fuckers at ground level, ditch
To those people we all died
But we really left to kickstart a better life
Not too religious but still never sold out
To the fucking Devil, bitch
Rapping I had a flow I always thought
Was kinda devillish
But as it turns out the audience says
It never switches
I think Tyler Joseph put it best
"I need to know that when I fail you'll still be here"
Till the day I'm laid to rest, I know we'll fight our fears
So many tears shed along the way
I was born a singleton, like IronE
The irony?
I have like sixty other voices that are inside of me
They're eyin' me
Tellin' me, delete the browser history
Forget Bowser and Princess Peach
Cause one day you'll be rich with peace
Keep on trail, keep on track with the journey
Roll the old you out of town on a gurney
Roll the boulder up the hill
Even when your legs are hurtin'
[Outro]
It's a long way down
And a hell of a view
And to think it all started with a picture of you
Are you still gonna watch when the show ends?
Are you still gonna watch when the show ends?
