Bamboo - Looking Out For No.1 lyrics

rate me

I try, try not to get too down on myself<br />

While on the process we got lives on the line<br />

But the deeper I get into this fight<br />

I cry myself to sleep thinking what I shoulda coulda done<br />

<br />

I never I had a chance<br />

Oh no, don't get me wrong<br />

We got the tools to do good<br />

But when all's said and done<br />

<br />

I close my eyes, I try to shut it out<br />

I close my eyes, pretend to hear no sound<br />

I close my eyes, visualize, this is paradise<br />

I close my heart, my conscience is my price<br />

<br />

You're telling yourself the world's gonna be just fine<br />

You're playing by the rules but I'm gonna live by mine<br />

How did we ever get to this point of such distraction?<br />

Take the money and run run run<br />

I search my soul thinking what I shoulda coulda done<br />

<br />

I never I had a chance<br />

Oh no, don't get me wrong<br />

We got the tools to do good<br />

But when all's said and done<br />

<br />

I close my eyes, I try to shut it out<br />

I close my eyes, pretend to hear no sound<br />

I close my eyes, visualize, this is paradise<br />

I close my heart, my conscience is my price<br />

<br />

Your world just stops<br />

It's getting harder and harder to feel<br />

Just waiting, buying time<br />

Looking for answers 'till I know what's real<br />

It don't feel the same, will I heal<br />

Will I ever be the same, I hope I will<br />

<br />

Crunch time<br />

About time I prepare myself<br />

For that long climb upon my knees from the bowels of hell<br />

But I've had some recent practice swimming against the tide<br />

Redemption's a lonely road but someone's gonna try<br />

Thirty pieces of silver to reclaim my soul<br />

I'll sing high to the heavens with my luck, the gates will still be closed... <br />

The gates will still be closed.<br />

<br />

I close my eyes, I try to shut it out<br />

I close my eyes, pretend to hear no sound<br />

I close my eyes, visualize, this is paradise<br />

I close my heart, my conscience is my price</
