Green
[Hook: MayDay]
Green sliding off your tongue
Green making you numb
Green everywhere for you to breathe in
Just don't breathe out
Let it all go in
[Verse 1: MayDay]
Did you like the green you wiped off your mouth?
Did you like the gold that made its way out?
Did that hit feel good running through your veins?
Did your father love you enough to make you insane?
That satisfaction that you hid underneath your belt
Took the rest of your clothes off for something else
Dreaming of emptiness covered in diamond rings
Did that man who said he loved you do incredible things?
Did those constant nights of you waiting for a door to open
Make you believe that promises weren’t meant to be broken?
That battle between luxury and accepting fate
To rewrite itself while you sat down with an empty plate
Fill up your glass with more colorless fame
Teach your bleeding heart how to be tamed
Let your emotions speak out through all the bruises
Let that anger creep out from all the excuses
And the times you were taught to bite your tongue
Those years you thought happiness was being numb
That skin you let anyone touch as they please
The soul you let people cut up and bleed
The times you swore you knew better than before
But you kept falling back on the same swords
You listened to those inner demons that made it seem pleasant
Made it seem like it was better than the present
The situation rose to all new extremes
Did that dream you had finally make you succeed?
Did those faces marked with disapproval
Distance you from all the ones who blew
The curtains away before you could cover your face?
All those flaws you never could embrace
[Hook: MayDay]
Green sliding off your tongue
Green making you numb
Green everywhere for you to breathe in
Just don't breathe out
Let it all go in
[Verse 2: MayDay]
How about another honorable mention
Did you do something great, did you do it with passion?
Cause these days dreams are getting harder to find
I dug in the trash, but the money guided my mind
I was ruined for an ounce of fame in my hand
I stuck it out for a kid who needed a slice of bread
He rubbed off the dust, gold spreading on the ground
He told me he didn't need it, that he didn't own a crown
I told him to take it cause he’d need it to eat
He said he rather starve than take something that's green
That's so evil it made me wipe off my mouth
I covered my hands in some regret and doubt
He opened them back up and said I need to see
That the expensive things were consuming me
I said I could handle it, that I wouldn't be like the others
He said that I couldn't manage, I said I wasn't a motherfucker
That I had dreams in my back pocket, I was gonna be fine
He asked, what you gonna do when that limelight hits yours eyes?
I said I'd figure it out when the time comes but for now
I'll soak in my vision, let the luxury pour its way out
Cause I was gifted from the beginning, I just didn't know how
He said to watch out for the pieces of gold
That would one day stick themselves right in my throat
[Hook: MayDay]
Green sliding off your tongue
Green making you numb
Green everywhere for you to breathe in
Just don't breathe out
Let it all go in
