NLYF Lyrics by Issues

Diamond Dreams - EP

2014

[Verse 1: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
Riddle me this, I gotta figure it out
Are they laughing at me
Because I'm prone to fear and doubt?
Am I messed up, am I loud?
Well, eat my dust, that's all I am
A speck out in the crowd
I'm trying to clean up the mess I made
But, the towel I used to soak up my worry, it just went up in flames
You see I got a conscience like gasoline
I could siphon shit out, fuck it and leave
But, I fuel the fire with everything they said, it's stuck in my mind
You're better off dead

[Chorus: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
If you got the keys, then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames

[Verse 2: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
Misunderstood, I'm misunderstood
I will live to my fullest
Because I owned my name the best I could
How much does it hurt?
To live like we live, for everybody else
Or am I better off dead?
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
Trying to devise a plan that’s positively fool proof
Nobody can see me past these walls that I’ve been building
Now they're starting to cave in, but I won’t give up

[Chorus: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
If you got the keys, then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames

[Bridge: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
Wanting to fit in, I always wanted to be perfect to you
I gotta get up out this bed, if you could see inside my head
You'd understand I got to give up
Feeling like I’m nothing’s something that I’m getting used to
Trying to devise a plan that’s positively fool proof
Nobody can see me past these walls that I’ve been building
Now they're starting to cave in, but I won’t give up

[Chorus: Tyler Carter; Ben Barlow]
If you got the keys, then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
