Prominence

I bought some pearls at the market

I go to clubs where the girls all kiss

Observe a fight that I started

Then go home to write a list

I catch a train then I call my bank

I let the chaos set on in

Say goodbye to someone I can’t thank

But I’m just letting it

Go, Go, Go

Letting it

Go, Go, Go

A new place helps the mindset

But all the lyrics still write themselves

It’s not a pain you can soon forget

Physical manifest

And now the dollar’s gone down again

(gone down again)

Everyone wonders where the youth all went

(youth all went)

They’re working hard, can't save a cent

Oh, but the rain still falls

And the cops still call

When you run from your problems

And your back still hurts

And your mind still surfs

You’re still bound to your consciousness

And the dates don’t text

You still miss your ex

And it shakes up your confidence

You can lose your place

And miss your own space

When the pain comes to prominence

I call my dad on a hostel floor

He asks when I think I’ll be home again

But he reminds me to walk through the open doors

And thank them

But the rain still falls

And the cops still call

When you run from your problems

And your back still hurts

And your mind still surfs

You’re still bound to your consciousness

And the dates don’t text

You still miss your ex

And it shakes up your confidence

You can lose your place

And miss your own space

When the pain comes to prominence

It’s a mental strain

Sentimental chase

Don’t I mean enough to my friends?

If I leave this state

Am I then the flake

In the sense that I cannot attend

All the biggest days

In the biggest ways

Always wanted to show up for them

But the work comes first

Both a blessing and curse

Hope they know that it’s never the end

Pain comes to prominence

Shake up your confidence

Pain comes to prominence

Shake up your confidence

Pain comes to prominence

Shake up your confidence
