Making Due

When I heard, no, I wasn't surprised

Could've said it was a long time comin'

Now you beg for some compromise

And you're offering nothing

And by now, you must understand

Making due with what I've been given

Read the past on the palm of my hand

A few chapters, I think that you're missin'

So I'm wonderin'

Where can we go now?

And I'm wondering

Where can we go now?

When I heard, no, I wasn't surprised

Shadows long and the pain gets numbin'

Years ago, you left me behind

And left the place gutted

And lined up, you stand and command

Streets lined with satellite dishes

I skin my knees and I cut my hands

Got a pulse, but there's a few beats missing

So we're wonderin'

Where can we go now?

And I'm wondering

Where can we go now?

I run from the past but it's gaining on me

I thought we made a deal, you were crossing your fingers

So I'm wondering

Where can we go now?

The rules came from your daddy's daddy

They were grandfathered in

You forgot pretty fast, 'cause you act like the past didn't happen

And so you empty out your pockets

And you said all the money's been spent

Now you don't come around to this part of town

Till it's burnin', man, what did you expect?

You made some promises that need to be kept

Now I feel like I've been here before

I'm sittin' on the bus, now I'm lost and alone

I feel the pain, it's a highway away

Another city in flames, in flames, in flames

So I'm wonderin'

Where can we go now?

And I'm wonderin'

Where can we go now?

I run from the past but it's gainin' on me

I thought we made a deal, you were crossin' your fingers

So I'm struggling

With this weight that's been passed down
