More Than This |
I know there’s got to be more than this |
In these boxy apartments and offices |
Scrambling to pay the bills and the mortgages |
Doesn’t seem to be as deep as the story gets |
Posing, posting up all our performances |
Turn our loved ones into a audience |
For our political cause and accomplishments |
Whatever make 'em like, share, and applaud for us |
That’s all we trust |
But there’s more than this, little one-inch box |
That we’re forced to fit to get a portrait |
There’s got to be a lot more but I’m lazy sometimes |
I don’t want to explore, if I’m feeling outta sorts |
I shop some more, sometimes I forgot |
What I bought before it even arrives at my door |
They don’t knock no more, I mean my friends it’s just me |
And this cardboard, I can’t see my garage floor |
There’s gotta be more than this |
Answering a call from inside my soul |
This can’t be all there is |
But right now this is all I know |
There’s gotta be more than this |
Answering a call from inside my soul |
There’s gotta be more than this |
There’s gotta be more than this |
Prettiest people do the ugliest things |
The type of jewel you spit before becoming a king |
A lotta time the poor dream of getting rich |
Imagining the joy of expensive shit, but it’s a trip |
'Cause before we had togetherness |
And we were just forced to make the best of it |
But when we get more, we forget all this |
And our hearts grow sore with the emptiness |
We used to think we never had enough |
Took a trip and got bitten by the travel bug |
Dip our toes in the ocean, soak the magic up |
Till finally got bored and strayed away |
From the places that they make for the tourists to the villages |
It’s like welcome to the world and how real it is |
People given from their spirit what the feeling is |
I see myself and remember just what living is, what a privilege |
There’s gotta be more than this |
Answering a call from inside my soul |
This can’t be all there is |
But right now this is all I know |
There’s gotta be more than this |
Answering a call from inside my soul |
There’s gotta be more than this |
There’s gotta be more than this |
