Esteem Fiend

If I left tomorrow would you notice?

This familiar town's getting the best of me

Whispers on sidewalks

Steady shit talk when you're not around

The story turns so many directions

Getting lost doesn't sound too bad

Maybe I'll see you somewhere down the road

If not, that's all right either way

Open your eyes quit being blinded

By the nonsense wrong does bring

Keep facing forward 'cause you're falling backward without any idea

That the people smiling haven't a clue who'll be popular next year

Only fools will rush for the gold

If only they knew it's painted yellow

Quick stop the bottom drops lower than you want to feel

Might as well kneel

First start blown apart begging for another chance to correct mistakes

Why should I try fixing broken wings you'll never fly?

With bricks strapped on your waste line sinking in mud and tears

Move a little faster or you'll get run over

Pick up the speed or else head for cover

Once again

Map out a safe route don't travel on a clouded mind leave worries behind

There are enough situations to face save your strength I'm saving mine

You've latched on this long yet your grip seems to loosen weaken

Slipping through the palms of a gentle hand

I thought you were a careful man

Farewell old city

At least for right now

See you soon

Sooner than I want
