Nowhere

I pull the switch, all systems down
and all that's left is the sound
of a know-it-all who's left in doubt
reaching for stars
you know you can't get far
if you don't know who you are
fame can leave a scar

And now I bite the hand
that's feeding me
cause that hand is so deceiving
is there a law against
believing in yourself

They say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
some things never change
in this endless game
they say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
I packed my bags, I wish you well
I found myself a brand new hell

You, in your suit and tie
try and dictate my life
with all of your lies
no respect, no loyalty
nobody rides free
especially with me

And now I bite the hand
that's feeding me
cause that hand is so deceiving
is there a law against
believing in yourself

They say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
some things never change
in this endless game
they say I'm going nowhere
and you know that I don't care
how I'm getting there
I packed my bags, I wish you well
I found myself a brand new hell

Is this life you made?*
The kind of life you fake
Is there a point we break?
Or do we sing that same old song
And hope they play along?
(We follow)

[Chorus:]
We're well on our way now to nowhere
(To nowhere)
We're so far away from getting somewhere
(From getting somewhere)

Please stop the broken record
Your worthless effort
That makes you feel like God
So, play that song, and watch it all go wrong...

Where do we search to find true honesty in a world so
Fucked up and bleeding?
Know(ing) we (will) follow

We're well on our way now to nowhere
(To nowhere)
We're so far away from getting somewhere close
To anything at all...
At all...
At all...
At all...
At all...

[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)

Heaven kicked you out
You wouldn't wear a tie
Staring at some pictures by yourself
At something that you want to have but will never get
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

You get drunk every night
You can't get drunk on life
Shouting at the world you'll never change
But it's what's inside you've got to rearrange
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

Heaven kicked you out
Heaven kicked you out

Breaking up for what you never have
Loosing everything all things you ever had
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

[INTRO:]
Listen, first, you must travel, a long, desolate road
This road that you shall travel, will seem like nowhere.
That nowhere, will turn into somewhere
Keep your head up Bubba, don?t let nobody get you down,
Cause that road you travel will turn around

I?ve accepted every challenge, and risen to all occasions
A country boy that got 'em shook like Randy Moss and Jason
Perhaps some of these numerals don?t fit in ya?lls equation
If your opinions coincide with that you oughta save ?em
Lookin? for the greatest Southern rapper, fuck it period
Negative spirits they only keeping down a myriad
Of Satan?s substances, and my systems? still my wisdom
It never once compromised that between God and I
Never once forgotten my manners
Cause my ma?ama played in public housin? in Alabama
But she had a diff?rent plan for me, russ and ginger
Thank the lord for Jimmy Mathis, pops he must remember us
Are you really down when those other clowns disappear
Taught me how to set the scope, shoot and leave with the deer
Man made me drink the blood, and showed me life was precious
The muddy road from nowhere to somewhere is my direction

[Chorus]
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like

Can you relate to five kids, six fish sticks on the plate
All writin? to Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Or to catch the fish you bait the hook with lil? Dylan?s poo-poo
On Mr. Allen?s property, he catch you, he will shoot you
Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions
But where I?m from being broke is no honorable affliction
Love some Jimmy Carter, but we never even voted
But slum is still slum, so you best believe we told it
Every fire arm from AK?s to 30-30?s
And from live watch to live stock they pays the early birdy
Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with yayo
But I choose keys over cattle cause the profits way more
But I might get locked away though peddling the sno cones
So we keep it simplified with acres of that homegrown
It?s the finest shine that you can find on this side of Memphis
From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless

[Chorus]

It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
Beyond the second round of the big dance, all my plans
Of being viewed as something special, more than just the other one
We?ll vanish from the papers and the plague the South has suffered from
The world?s weight plus a ton, restin? on my shoulders
But what?s attractive, to ease my nerve, is blessed to the beholder
Cause Eminem?s incredible, but did I really need to say this
For ya?ll to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist
But this time I may just, leap and clear that hurdle man
Cause there?s gonna be a million more, who knows if they?ll be worth a damn
Bubba K, I surely am, with that silky kinda sound
Carson Daily host it out, I?ll be early for this time around
Cause I?ve come to far for my own mistakes to quell me
Cause looking back at self improvement proves an aching ailment
Cause nothing they can tell me will get me somewhere in a hurry
If I?m nowhere, then that nowhere will leave me no more need to worry

Heaven kicked you out
You wouldn't wear a tie
Staring at some pictures by yourself
At something that you want to have but will never get
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

You get drunk every night
You can't get drunk on life
Shouting at the world you'll never change
But it's what's inside you've got to rearrange
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

Heaven kicked you out
Heaven kicked you out

Breaking up for what you never have
Losing every single thing you ever had
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

VERSE ONE
Right now, here we are
And here I'll stay
For as long as you say
I'll never go, don't you know
I'll be yours for always

And I don't care what it takes to make you
Understand I'll never leave you (that's right)
Ain't I don't wanna be standing here
On my own without you (I can't live without you)

CHORUS
Because I'm nowhere if I'm not with you
And I don't care what it takes to prove
There is no way I can stand to lose you now
Because I'm nowhere without you

VERSE TWO
Oh babe, if you should leave
Then you'd see
How my heart was torn in two
And then you'd know
Just how far I'd go
Girl, to get back to you

And I don't care what it takes to give you
Everything I ever meant to
And I don't wanna be standing here
On my own without you (I can't live without you girl)

CHORUS TWICE

BRIDGE
Now I don't even know how I got here
All I know is that I just want to stay right here
And every single day you're right here
Is another chance, is another way
Baby to stay with you forever

There is no way, there is no way
There is no way, there is no way I can lose you now

You're not where you are
Only where you want to be
You're not what you've seen
Only what you could've been

And out of sight
Then out of mind
Go

You won't try you don't care
You won't try you don't care
You won't try you don't care
You won't try you don't care

And keep moving fast
But still go nowhere
With so much to say
So what anyway?

The sooner you see
The sooner you'll move
On

You won't try you don't care
You won't try you don't care
You can't see you're not there
You don't talk you don't hear
You won't try you don't care
You don't feel it's so clear
You can't see you're not there
You won't try you don't care

You won't try you don't care
You can't see you're not there
You don't talk you don't hear
You don't feel it's so clear
You won't go you stay near
You won't try you don't care
You can't see you're not there
Do not believe you're not there
You are the same you're not rare
You don't care you don't care

Nobody can find you when you're nowhere
Living on the other side of hope
Nobody can hurt you when you don't care
Singing like you're swinging on a rope
Don't worry if you never have been happy
Disappointment is your only friend
It's not like there's nothing to believe in
Every movie's got to have an end

What are you waiting for?
Let's get out of here
When you've got nothing,
You've got nothing left to fear
Going nowhere Going nowhere
Going nowhere...

How long can you just go on pretending
To be yourself when you know that you're not?
Every movie's got to have an ending
Even when there's not much of a plot

What are we waiting for?
Let's get out of here
When you've got nothing,
You've got nothing left to fear
Yeah, going nowhere, going nowhere
Hey. Going nowhere...

If your lover used to beat you with his failure
If your mother usd to tie you to a rock
Observe your former life preserved in amber
Like someone pulled the power on the clock

What are we waiting for?
Let's get out of here
When you've got nothing,
You've got nothing left to fear

atmosphere decays in me i fail to convict my useless days
the lack of substance circle of downfall
exitless ways into pale wake tired attempts to crush the design
it's like nowhere i cannot sell the plight that is mine
everything is real but i'm not here i've lost my strength somewhere
nowhere used to care about weather used to plan the days that came
used to try and watch you used to know my name
someone said remember but i can't remember anything at all
anything at all

I should have known better,
Than to expect it all.
You want everything,
And you end up grabbing at air.

I had so much to give,
So much hope, we held each other high.
But the heroes are gone,
And all that's left is you and me.

I learned the hard way,
That life should be easy,
But I want you to know it was hard to show,
The things that I know now.

And all that's left is you and me,
And here we are,
Nowhere.

I saw your picture in the news
Knowing you're somewhere
I haven't seen the warning sign
Although you were my friend
I hear your voice
I can still remember
I see you falling down
Still feel the warmth of your hand

Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide
When there's no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won't alter the course
There's no escape from myself

Whatever happened, there's no use
Knowing they'll never find me
If only I could turn back time
To make a change ... but then
You had the choice we've
Always been contenders
Give me a reason why
I still feel the warmth of your hand

Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide
When there's no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won't alter the course
There's no escape from myself

If ever you wondered
If ever you were nervous about it
You gotta know,
I aint never,
Lemme say that again,
I aint never, goin nowhere
Listen to me

Last night I allmost cried when you told me
That you think you love me more than I love you
Sometimes it hurts to carry that burden alone
Lets be clear and get a few things straight
No ones ever gunna take your place in my heart
Nothing can measure the love that i've got for you
Im telling you

When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

I was lost and abandoned
Searching for the truth
Looking for that missing one
That missing one was you
The road was so tough
But you gave it up
Untill I found you and you made it
Worth the wait and worth the years
Worth the strength and worth the tears
And you dont know the half of it
But baby heres the rest of it

Did you know that your a gift far brighter than the sun?
Did you know that your a blessing, and im the lucky one
Did you know that I could never ask for a better love
Did you know that I would die, before I broke your heart
Did you know that if you left me, my world would fall apart
And never come back together, baby thats for real
So the next time that you tell me, you'll remember this

When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

You can't believe the things you see and read
The Soviet threat
Our pseudo enemy
What's scaring me?
Our foreign policy
To make the world safe for business
Call it democracy

Our human nature, it's all the same
We spend our lives in the pursuit of happiness
So stop the hate, open the iron gate
It's our destiny to make the cold war history

You think I give a shit
If you're a socialist
If you're a capitalist
We've all got to exist
On this planet with nowhere to run
The millions of brainwashed must open their eyes
We are one

With us over here and them over there
Barbed wire borders are going nowhere
