Excuses

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Contemplating complicated conversations, calculations of my patience vacated

Fabricated situations, faded greatness from the faces that I hated

Vacillated, hesitated, now they're waiting at the station I created

Undeniable data, I'm the latest innovator, separations overstated

Verse 2

Gotta get the green, grinding, gripping genuine

Gathering my ghosts, going ghost, got that golden grin

Gripping on the grain, gambling with the game I'm in

Giving up the gimmicks, getting grounded, god within

Verse 3

I move through the grooves where the truth is a noose

Loose loops of excuses, I cut 'em loose

Produced the abuse that I used to consume

Now the muse is a fuse in a room full of fumes

Verse 4

I have walked through fire with my shadow as my only witness

Watched cathedrals of desire crumble into perfect quietness

Every diamond I admired was a debt I had to pay

Now I sleep beneath the silence where the words refuse to weigh
