Legend Lyrics by Chris Nerger

0

Trying to be a fucking legend
Trying to go straight to heaven
X2

But that trying shit got me dying of failure, a lukewarm
Seasick sailor, and my own god damned jailer
Kick the bucket or the pail yea?
Dreamed of people screaming hell yea!
But I'm still living in hell yea?
Still humpbacked ringing the bell yea?
When my story start? When'd it all fall apart, on a spaceship
Got off at mars, got lost in the stars, without getting to be one
Beat the devil at cards, but he said he won

That's how some stories go don't they?
Like the legend of seven wise men from heaven
And how they became separate

I'm so done, I'm so done
How did I get to be so dumb?
From a traveler to a home bum
All unraveled, I come spun
Still thinking that I know some-im
Tried to be a legend, but ended up where my leg end
Ground floor, under a foot, smelling like pig pen, down pour
Counting hours like big ben
Walked a long road to a dead end
Cul de sac living
Always at the end of a bag
Smoking the swag, coping a sack from the hat, the ball to a cat
Now I'm thinking State Street is a trap, I fell down
But came back to rap, and I'm a be a legend at that

I know I'm not alone out here, but
A legend has an end, and my story doesn't end
I Guess I'll never be a legend then, I'll just hope to be a better man

But deep down, like deeep down man
I still think I'm superman
