Spiral
Fax Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what that should say about me
All the people that I'm throwing off
Can't help but care if they should hate or doubt me
I just want to see a brighter light
I just want to find an exit to the tunnel
I don't wanna stay with you tonight
Cause I know I'm gonna get into some trouble
Toiling endlessly through night and day
Can you help me waste the time away
Spiral energy contained in me
Pierce the heavens, will you stay with me
Got a couple bags stashed in the trunk right now
On my feet, got a pair of black Dunks right now
All the tracks you're serving up sounding bunk right now
In the back of the alley getting drunk right now
On the East a couple weeks, then I fly right back
In my mail a couple feats, and I slide right back
Ain't blowing up? You ain't really gotta cry like that
Serving cap? You ain't really gotta lie like that, like that
Can we be a little honest
Half you egomaniacs ain't got an ounce of fucking promise
And the other half? You've got a lot of work before you've got it
But a swath of you could hardly even qualify as novice
Sick of fucks who feed each other to the worms right now
Sick of hypocrites who never fucking learn right now
Sick of people who buy into what's fake and not real
But I'm mostly sick of those who can't discern right now, right now
Toiling endlessly through night and day
Can you help me waste the time away
Spiral energy contained in me
Pierce the heavens, will you stay with me
Above the clouds I'm blinded by the sun
All the past is gonna come undone
Spiral energy contained in us
In you, I always put in all my trust

In you, I always put in all my trust
I have faith in you above all others.
