Lyrics Used to be Dark - Notes to Self, Lee Gaul

Used to be Dark

You set it up since grammar school
Your faulty eye to bleeding through
Seen the cards would waste the youth
Oho, never see you coming at all
Oh, oh, no, never see you coming at all
Note to self, Monday, early morning
Sun rose through the sky, looking purple orange
Cool breeze gently whistles through the trees
So I listen to it speak, like it’s whispering to me
Feels like a new day, but really it’s dependin
Not on the way it starts but if it has a different ending
What happens after the shot, the force that forces you back
After the pops and after thought, but it happnes a lot
You settle up, it’s far away
As we climb across the shore
It used to be dark, it used to be dark
It used to be
Oh, we never seen it coming at all
No, no, we never seen it coming at all
They took, dopy to interogation
Cuffs on my brother bronx
Got me sitting like a sucker
I guess this is the border
On the road home looking out for signs for toronto
Or a drive through mcdonalds
We talk, words of encouragement, compassion and respect
When underneath was baggage and resent
So deep
We couldn’t wash it up out jackets with the soap peach
Couldn’t scrape it off our faces with the pro bleach
Many months later, when the dust settle
When the sky clear, when the cuts yellow
Got sick of looking at the bus schedule
Bronx, we ready for another one, wassup, hello
I’m out with book in los angeles to master the beliefs
And roll she left another heater on my answering machine
Yeah I flew here coach fin to fly home bizness
Waking up at 7:30 from the time zone difference
And I blow the cash upon me, but I owe my dad some money
And I owe my girl a night for all the time I’m out the country
I ain’t tryina die alone, talking to this dial tone
They pat me down and peerson but I’m here son
Finally home
It used to be dark, it used to be dark
It used to be
It used to be dark, it used to be dark
It used to be
Oh you never seen it coming at all
Oh, no, you never seen it coming at all
Tryina get home on this yellow brick road.
