Friendly Fire Lyrics

When the sun ain't around I shine

When the rain comes now I'm dry

When I'm down I'm fly

When I'm breathing I'm dying

When I see you I'm blinded

When I swear that I'm leaving, I'm lying

When I say I want more, I need less, I fall with each step

I'm pure but cheap yes I'm strong at weak-ness

I guess what I know

I learn what I teach

backstep when I grow and spurn what I preach

I'm the only of the many, your homie and your enemy

I'm holding on but letting it be lonely when my friends are with me

Bold and go on hesitantly over her and reminiscing

0 for 4 and never missing only talk forever listen

I'm all of that and then some, minus all of that,

Subtract then some, then combine it all right back

Cause I break it all apart, then find it all attached

And none of it real, but all of this is fact

I am right now yesterday tomorrow and before

amazing mediocre plus I'm horrible galore

It's crazy but I'm sure that I'm shady and I'm warm

And when I break it down, every maybe is secure

With change and growth some remains some goes

From the lame comes dope, from the pain comes hope

From my brain comes quotes that actions don't match

Then I look back and run past shit I won't catch

Know nothing, but know that

Blow up but, I hold fast

Grow up, but, I go back

A pup, but, an old cat

Enough but, it won't last

Tough, but I fold fast

Double up with no cash

It's funny but I don't laugh

The more days I live, the more that I die

The more that I hid, the more that I find

The more that I give, the more acquire

The realer that I get, the more it's a lie

It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward

I'm equal parts nothing, everything's distorted

Cause whatever I am, I will never be again

But I'll always be me, for a moment, til it ends

Yeah it's clear in the fog, engineered to evolve

but the gears and the cogs, appear to dissolve

And erode any road and the goals stay blocked

and though hiphop is dope, I rock and roll

I toss and turn I scoff and yearn I often learn

My losses earned my crosses burn my cautious nerve

Got me going but I, stand still, as I, plant roses in my, landfill

And I rise, like an anvil fall like July

As high as an anthill, as small as the sky

Rely, on what breaks, arrive, but I'm late

Why is it when my dreams are true I like awake

And when I'm not confined I'm planning on my escape

And perfection that I find is tied to my mistakes

The bind, I'm in it but free, died, but living with ease

And I forgot to remember it's me

It's a little complicated but pretty straightforward

I'm equal parts nothing, everything's distorted

Cause whatever I am, I will never be again

But I'll always be me, for a moment, til it ends
