take a ride in my time machine // take a ride in my time machine // all my heroes come back with me // all my heroes come back with me // i had never lived honestly // didn’t know what was wrong with me // knew that i was an oddity // burned the bridge almost constantly // valued things that would poison me // let my weaknesses foil me // no idea of how i should be // noone wanted a part of me // let my doubt take a hold of me // thought about my death longingly // put my daydreams on layaway // nothing in this world spoke to me // life was like a big joke on me // couldn’t break in my industry // couldn’t talk to my family // wouldn’t own up to being me // everything you say that was a breakthrough to me // planted roots in me // that’re getting deeper // getting deeper // and i can only start to try to understand yr mind // from words you left behind // but i’m getting closer // getting closer // you helped me to get unafraid // you broke down all the barricades // tried to learn from yr escapades // finally getting yr accolades // hope you find peace in yr resting place // hope that yr pain has gone far away // you always stood above all the greats // you always stood above all the greats
