The Way it Goes (ft Lucrowe)

from Dilated by Riverwood

lyrics

You think that you're original? No way in hell, seperate from the masses to find yourself,
Or time will tell the story of a lost boy. He put his arms around the world,
And he picked it up, one foot in the doorway and the other inside a well.
His heads spinning, baby can't you tell? His thoughts are where your last words will dwell.
And he can't really stand straight, never did he plan hate, always trying to walk on forward.
But the world's in a damned state, can't take the bare weight and he falls through the floor.
Incognito, the people don't see, so he can't awake to his dreams to be free, no.
Falls to the feet of his demons, it seems, though these are just the way that these things go.

She fuckin' loved him and she thought that she could trust him, when they first met, man you shoulda' seen her buzzin'.
It was love at first sight, couldn't turn a blind eye to a smile that shined from night to the lime light.
It was a head trip, no sign of a slip until a year in, things started to get hectic.
Goin' through his phone; other girls he was texting. Cold to the core; self-esteem, it's affecting.
Home from work one night, caught in the act. No time to think and no time to react.
She was taken for a ride on a coward's back, now a year down the drain is all to show for that?
Smiles fade off, 'cause he's cheating and she knows. Heart frosts over snow and she can't warm her bones.
Kicked to the curb with nowhere to go; what can I say? That's just the way it goes.

Am I lost, am I free?
A careless winter comes down on me,
I'm caught in an endless downpour.
And so, that's just the way it goes;
You must fight to find a way to warm your bones.
