I was chasin' a high I thought I'd remember But I'd forgotten what it cost just to get me there Tryin' to hide from December But my fears like scavengers circled in the air I've given enough respect to my elders And my lifelong friends are silent as the grave Where once was my home I find no shelter They hide their sins while for me they pray But how much can you cut from a man before he's given his due? You corrupt the narrative and distill a watered-down truth These self-fulfilling prophets got my soul painted black and blue If division's what you crave then you'll get what's comin' to you Well it's a bitter goodbye and a hollow descension Severin' ties to my roots never crossed my mind A loving disguise for the worst intentions Cling to conviction and leave the rest behind But how much can you cut from a man before he's given his due? You corrupt the narrative and distill a watered-down truth These self-fulfilling prophets got my soul painted black and blue If division's what you crave then you'll get what's comin' to you Well how much can you cut from this man before he's given his due? You corrupt the narrative and distill a watered-down truth And these self-fulfilling prophets got my soul painted black and blue If division's what you crave then you'll get what's Oh I said if division's what you crave then you'll get what's comin' Oh if division's what you crave then you'll get what's comin' to you
