The Come Up Lyrics

I'm on the search for salvation

No, fuck that - I'm on a fucking vacation

I stay between wasting my time

And lacking patience

Devoted to destruction of self

And self actualization

Actively stay sick

Sick of staying the same

And waiting on a paycheck

Rocked the boat sideways

Woke up working grave shifts

Feeling so elated

When I make it out this basement

The sunlight stings

But it's better than complacence

Which is better than the dark

And that's better than the hatred

And if I ever make it out

Long enough to change things

Just remember who I was

When I made these statements

So tell it like it is

Like it once was

Tell 'em what you think

Where you came from

Tell 'em how it felt

To be so numb

Waiting on the outcome

Stuck with no income

So tell it like it is

Like it once was

Tell 'em what you think

Where you came from

Tell 'em how it felt

To be so numb

Waiting on the outcome

Stuck with no income

'Cause nothing's worth shit

Without the come up

And life is just a bitch

Until you love her

And everybody quits

Until they trust her

When you finally make it out

They'll say he's just a "lucky motherfucker"

And I don't lead the way

I just saw it once

No, I don't feel the hate

I fear the cost of love

I fear the fall from grace

Far away from yesterday

Where everything I thought I know

Is buried in a shallow grave

Somewhere off the coast of Spain

Chasing validation

While salivating dogs

Beg for wealth allocations

And the prettiest faces stay jaded

The tongue sours the soul

It's shown in the complaining

So just get out my fucking face man

So tell it like it is

Like it once was

Tell 'em what you think

Where you came from

Tell 'em how it felt

To be so numb

Waiting on the outcome

Stuck with no income

So tell it like it is

Like it once was

Tell 'em what you think

Where you came from

Tell 'em how it felt

To be so numb

Waiting on the outcome

Stuck with no income
