Ghost Town (Demo) Lyrics

I don't know if I can take this

After everything that I gave this

My hopes were as high as a plane gets or spaceships or space gets

But everything was so baseless

Love was my only real basis

I tried to build up from the basics

But you wanna stay in the basement

There's nowhere for me in this darkness

I'm trying to get keys to apartments

With balconies and carpets and nice things for a bargain

A quiet place on easy street

A hideaway from the meet and greets

Some peace of mind from the daily grind and someone who sometimes agrees with me

But this world won't let that

Like being happy's a setback

And nobody wants to hit back and I just don't get that

So I step back and I take aim

Keep growing, I don't stay the same

Live a high life, a whole 'nother plane

It's Mark Perry, won't forget the name

I've got to go or you've got to leave

I've got to know that you're not for me

I've carried this too long and now I'm starting to see

That love is hard on the knees

And this ain't usually how I do this

I was ready to break out the cool whip

Even wanted to buy you some new shit like some new kicks and a new whip

Making sure you're styling while you do shit

Spreading cash like it was a blueprint

But I'm seeing that it was all useless

How you're dodging these arrows from Cupid

And if I'm being perfectly honest

I guess I just don't get your logic

Who doesn't like trips to the tropics or moonwalks or comets

Or doo-wops or sonnets or to see their name in a song list

I guess real love is abolished

And I'm the one being demolished

But ain't that how it goes though

Got bad bitches by the boatload

Down to do whatever for the goat, yo

But when it comes to them, I go ghost mode

In my own zone, I see all

And I know where you belong

Right next to me on the Queen's throne

But you'll probably just end up in these songs like

I've got to go, or you've got to leave

I've got to know that you're not for me

I've carried this too long, and now I'm starting to see

That love is hard on the knees
