This Too Shall Pass

[Intro: Utada Hikaru]
Now
My fears, my lies
Melt away
Ahhhhhhhhh

[Verse 1]
I’m ready to face Him
Hats galore
Not Supreme, not basic
Clowned around the gift
He told me, “Take it”
Off to Heaven - said that before I knew I’d make it
Since I was 13, sought something more
Now there’s fat where there used to be core
From my pedestal to the floor
No good without God
Evil in devil
People person and a man of the people
My life’s a movie
Can’t wait for the sequel
Speak the truth despite the ridicule
Regardless of the cheers, jeers, and those in pews
My flow is erratic because my thoughts in the attic are being brought to the light to preach what I practice
Heaven or Hell, you choose
Either way, you have nothing and everything to lose
[Refrain]
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass

[Verse 2]
After all is said and done, work is work and fun is fun
When that bell rings and angels sing, you will either have chains or wings
To waste ten, five, one gift, not use it, is worse than a rocker’s hotel that went stupid
All you will show will be nothing
Even birds build nests on top of spiked buildings
My life parallels Kanye West
I wonder how he can get so far yet so close
Yes, you can do it on your own
No, you must go alone
Even heroes need help
I love and hate myself
It’s a balancing act for my mental health
To get something you’ve always wanted, you must think it through, no Infinity gauntlet
Freedom ain’t the liberty to do what I like
Freedom’s the ability to do what is right
If not now, when?
If not then, when?
We’re ugly ducklings looking for Mother Hen
We’re prophets preaching the Gospel of our superior
Good Doctor in a hospital
One jot, one tittle
Ephod, some victuals
We belittle the figure who can give us acquittal
Too busy blowing whistles, making riddles, giving giggles, nibble nibble, tickle tickle, wiggle wiggle, scribble scribble, dribble dribble
But not a soul figures what will happen after their own vigil
Sometimes I wish my life would just be a dream so things wouldn't seem so dark and bleak
My life’s Gatsby’s
Got to keep going on
I know I’mma last
This too shall pass
[Outro: The Great Gatsby]
“He talked a lot about the past as if he want to recover something.”
“If I, if I can just get back to the start- If I can just get back to the start, I could find it again.”
