Lio - the eternal city Lyrics

Did you know? Did you know that...

It's really not that different when you think about it,
Every time you set the trap I just go around it,
I've been livin' like a God if you think about it,
Still not better than I was just don't talk about it,

I was born at the start of a millennium,
Far out west but my roots are all Italian,
Grandpa thought I'd grow up to be a captain,
I had other plans, as you can imagine,
Moved back, and I started my life in Rome,
Time jump, twelve years, and i think I'm all grown,
I was young yes, already dreamin' of a throne,
One day I'll be king of this city I call home,
There's some shit I could get into,
Like my mom and the troubles that we been through,
But my pen ain't ready, my heart's not steady,
I'll leave it for another time I got plenty,
You might think that I'm just petty,
Walk a mile then you'll end up feelin' empty,
Talk your shit but you'll have to deal with Harry,
Cause I don't give a f*ck if you don't think I'm friendly,
My knowledge goes beyond all of this shit,
Problems burn away with the weed in my spliff,
I don't wanna fight, you know I'd rather forgive
When this song's over I will cease to exist,
Growin' up in the Eternal City,
Don't worry baby God's with me.

It's really not that different if you think about it,
Every time you set the trap I just go around it,
I've been livin' like a God if you think about it,
Still not better than I was just don't talk about it,

Centre of the city in the belly of the beast,
Cover trips back home, whilst I'm trekkin' out East,
Rebuild the puzzle, I'll go piece by piece,
Reconnectin' from the roots to the tree,
In September when it falls I don't ever wanna leave,
Just take a beat to breathe, I'll try to find some peace,
In...

In the heart of oblivion, losin' equilibrium,
Don't worry though it's all self inflicted
Weed, Henny, drugs, I admit I'm addicted
Don't worry though it's all self inflicted
Weed, Henny, drugs, I admit I'm addicted
Or better, afflicted, by genetic predicaments
That make me obsessed with my pathetic experiments

Feels like I'm stuck in the past,
Just tryna see the sun's rays 'n avoid the shadows cast,
But still I'll sink another glass, 'n I'll just let the time pass,
Cause now I'm feelin' like I'm mental,
You started sayin' all this shit, It's f*ckin' with my fundamentals,
And that's on principle, I'll take the dive 'n fall,
Before I turn 'round 'n reach for that phone to call,
That's just how I was raised,
But still I'm floating through this mirror maze,
Sinking deep into the haze,
Waiting till they call my name,
So I can start to board the train,
One way, one day, I can start to stray,
To the place where I can finally stay,

It's really not that different if you think about it,
Every time you set the trap I just go around it,
I've been livin' like a God if you think about it,
Still not better than I was just don't talk about it,

I don't wanna be late,
So show me the gates,
Cause I'm on my way,
To the Eternal City, ...

We all look for eternal life,
Welcome to the end,
Goodbye.
