Making Due

When I heard, no, I wasn't surprised
Could've said it was a long time coming
Now, you beg for some, compromise
And you're offering nothing
And by now, you must understand
Making do with what I've been given
Read the past on the palm of my hand
A few chapters, I think that you're missing
So, I'm wondering
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 numbing
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, I'm wondering
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 say, "All the money's been spent."
Now you don't come around to this part of town
Til it's burning
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 sitting 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 wondering
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 struggling
With this weight that's been passed down
