[Chorus]

There’s been a kidnapping

The time is now passing

Futurama on the TV

And now I’m just asking

“Was it my time?”

The clock, how it turns

The faster I go burns

Handles moving like the light

In which I just keep returning

To which I ask

“Was it my time?”

“Can’t I just climb?”

[Verse 1]

Metaphors for such a simple topic

Young kid ain’t got no problems, so why even bother?

I can’t find a comfortable way to just be honest

At the point I’m at right now I’m assuming I am modest

[Pre-Chorus]

I had a dream but dreams don’t have me held in open arms

Speeding to my destination in a broke down car

I wanna be Poseidon but I keep drowning

As the days pass by I can’t keep counting

Will I wilt away and not find my star?

Space is free but I’m locked in a jar

[Chorus]

There’s been a kidnapping

The time is now passing

Futurama on the TV

And now I’m just asking

“Was it my time?”

The clock, how it turns

The faster I go burns

Handles moving like the light

In which I just keep returning

To which I ask

“Was it my time?”

“Can’t I just climb?”

[Verse 2]

How can dreams suddenly become a chore

Civil towns in my brain turn into war

If I’m the mayor would I want to run this place anymore

My people starting riots, it ain’t happy like before

[Pre-Chorus]

I had a dream but dreams don’t have me held in open arms

Speeding to my destination in a broke down car

I wanna be Poseidon but I keep drowning

As the days pass by I can’t keep counting

Is an audience even free?

If my friends are stars then which would I be?

[Bridge]

I’m around all the time but I’m invisible

I’m a double, triple man, I’m so physical

Inside I’m so whimsical, who is the original?

Visuals of blind hate, fights, crime all inside my mind

If I’m a saint on the outside this is what I hide

Yeah I try to keep it all inside

But maybe I’m influenced by a whole other side

Flooded by the opinions of a tsunami of cries, screaming

“Why, why, why was this a good idea

Stop following the light, no wait, you should be a, be a-

-vision of how I see you - SCUM

Scoot off the grass, kid, go back to where you’re from”

[Verse 3]

Maybe the town I once raised is the one that’s drowning

Metaphorical poison keeps all my citizens frowning

The light that I see, I miss the dark that’s hiding

I just keep coming back but it makes my brain twist and turn

When will I learn? SimCity in my brain where destruction is the only goal

The light is the player, left click to take control

Blue birds flying with a black soul of fire

Laying eggs for them is just more guns for hire

On the outside, I want that, lemme go at ‘em

Hold up… this ain’t the way I wanna go

The light can be great but inside, you don’t wanna know

I got friends who want me to succeed with my dreams

I just take that for granted, you know what that means?

When I meet them in real life, real life I will meet

People want me to win, my citizens getting up off their feet and

Rebuilding the once broken town
