Making Due

When I heard, no I wasn't surprised

Could've said it was a long time coming

Now you beg for some, compromise

And you're offering nothing

And by now, you must understand

Making due with what I've been given

Read the past on the palm of my hand

A few chapters, I think that you're missin'

So I'm wondering

Where can we go now

And I'm wondering

Where can we go now

When I heard no, I wasn't surprised

Shadows long and the pain gets numbin'

Years ago, you left me behind

And left the place gutted

And lined up, you stand and command

Streets lined with satellite dishes

I, skin my knees and I cut my hands

Got a pulse but there's a few beats missing

So I'm wondering

Where can we go now

And I'm wondering

Where can we go now

I run from the past but it's gaining on me

I thought we made a deal, you were crossing your fingers

So I'm wondering

Where can we go now

The rules came from your daddy's daddy

They were, grandfathered in

You forgot pretty fast, 'cuz you act like the past didn't happen

And so you, empty out your pockets

And you said, all the money's been spent

And you don't come around, to this part of town till it's burning

Man, what did you expect?

You made some promises that need to be kept

Now I feel like I've been here before

I'm sitting on the bus, now I'm lost and alone

I feel the pain, it's a highway away

Another city in flames, in flames, in flames

So I'm wondering

Where can we go now

And I'm wondering

Where can we go now

I run from the past but it's gaining on me

I thought, we made a deal, you were crossing your fingers

So I'm struggling

With this weight that's been passed down
