Pursuit Of Happiness
[[ Credit to Kid Cudi for the chorus, and the inspiration to write on his stuff ]]
[[ waiting for BLOSSOM and HOLLOWMAN to throw up their parts ]]
I'm looking at something, it's gold, but I don't know it yet
You already know it's worth, you're perfect like that, but you can't explain it to me
It's something I have to recognize for myself, that's fine, it's how I like it
If I stare you in the eyes long enough, I'll discover why it's me you want to hold
I've spent days lying awake in my bed, squirming around, tossing and turning
Not worrying about my money, not gripping the reality that I might as well be barrel-burning
I don't have anything to offer you, not a house, not a car, not a dime
Just my words, thoughts, and expression but what can you buy in the currency of rhyme?
What you offer is warm to the touch and I so badly want to grab it
If I move too gingerly, I'd fumble and I may miss it completely
But if I runtacklepounce like I want to, I might scratch it
I'd never dream of hurting you but that seems exactly just 'like me'
There's a few things you should know about me, I never smile
So don't ask for one, you only get them when you least expect
I'm not a talker, I absorb, I'll let you talk for both of us
And listen on the edge of my seat as you go off at about a million miles
I smell you on these sheets, when I'm awake between dreams
Scent of lavender and vanilla, sure-fire way to keep me asleep
In the morning, I want to feel your breath on my cheek
And when I bite in, I want to feel your pulse through my teeth
Tell me what you know about dreamin’, dreamin’
You don’t really know about nothin’, nothin’
Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5AM cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies
Tell me What you know about dreams; dreams
Tell me What you know about night terrors; nothin’
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
Rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good
