Garrett Smith - Monopoly Lyrics

Lyrics Monopoly - Garrett Smith



Curating my thoughts to the point of exhaustion
It seems I say nothing without running it through
Some third-person filter that blesses my music
But binds me, at best, to simply straining the truth
It only takes one good look around
To make some sense of the soil and sound
It's no commandment to carve in your stone:
"We all build families to keep us alone"
"Delusions of grandeur and your penchant for pander"
When I find at the end I had it backwards and wrong
But at least I had something to fend off the nothing
And if nothing's the end, well here's a nothingness song
I knew my voice was desperate and weak
So scared to lose it I could not even speak
We all get parts of the story we feel
To make some sense of the dead and the real
*wicked synth solo*
So if you look for someone to blame
Could it be You for never sharing Your name?
The scattered tower, the children were split
So when You're ready, then we're ready for it
Bhagavad gita, udanavarga
Our Father, Vishnu, alhamdulillah
Bhagavad gita, udanavarga
Our Father, Vishnu, alhamdulillah
Maybe it's less about what I do and more about you
If I'd been born a hindu, buddhist, muslim, or jew
Would you hate me any more than you already do?
Cause white and west have never had a monopoly on truth
