Rent in LA Lyrics

I'm not free

Least not constantly

Got a heart that beats on

For wanting something

Call me for the wrong information

I'll play sensei

Confused 10 ways

I'm not free

And it's hard to see

What my heart might eat

Once it's gotten hungry

Call me for commiseration

On useless days

Get toothless takes

My friend what can I say

Rent's too high in LA

If my place can't fit my instruments

Well then I cannot play

I got reasons I obey

I got reasons I don't state

I foresee but then my seeing gets deceiving

Well okay

Would trust the feel

Can't trust my pride

Hands on the wheel

Then I text

So I might die

Blackrock buys real estate

I buy two sides

Then eat half my meal

My stomach's smaller than my eyes

Keep recalling all my why's

And the price of compromise

I want all of it inside

Hollow wallet it's a vibe

My psychologist is right

I don't follow her advice

I'm still stallin' stayin' calm

But is it solace or a lie

It's right there

It's unstable

It still won't quite compute

Who cares man

God won't apologize to you

It won't go down easily

With those cops that wait

Behind a face pacin

Sayin' let's do this peacefully

With their statement loaded

They chase when we're slowest

Pond scum sucks up oxygen

When the sun's gone past the roof

Man how does all this bullshit live

When it can't survive the truth

Who won

Who wants me

Oh I'm sick to death of those two

This restless cynical hunting

Hang dog look I can't cut loose

Need that new pump brought in

Operatin

Till the water's face looks new

Then I'll dive through

Find what's bottomless quiet

And desperately overdue
