lyrics

10,000 WORDS
What in the world makes someone run so
Far from the arms of the one they love
Chasing the ruin of childhood’s desire
The withering heights, Prince Charming on fire.

CHORUS
So it goes, so it goes so it goes, so it goes,
So it goes so it goes so it goes
With all the hustles I have heard, with all the bullshit in this world
Don’t knock this thought it’s not absurd,
A touch is worth 10,000 words

Junked out on love, that’s something to learn from.
Fantastic feeling so often hide lies.
Celluloid heartbreak, that’s comic book stuff.
In times like these, life’s hard enough

CHORUS

Ok you critics and scholars so wise,
I’ve looked in a mirror I can see with your eyes.
If my rap is too heavy I’m easy to blame.
‘Coz in times like these you should bend to the game.
But I just can’t hear that sound in my name
