Watsky (george Watsky) - Lovely Thing Suite: Roses lyrics

Don't let my ghost drag you down If you don't see me around It doesn't mean that I fell Yeah I'm doing well I got some roses to smell I hope you smile when I'm gone It means I had the strength to move on To find another story to tell To answer the bell I got some roses to smell When magic's happening my habit's been coiling up a memory and trappin it right In the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might But you won't hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight Set it free and let it back in the light Never out of my heart, even when out of my sight Leaving is sposed to be hard Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life But now I know No I don't take it personal If you got a really lovely place to go I will chase my goals
yeah, to make me whole Cause it's urgent we love and be loved I've begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul Don't let my ghost drag you down If you don't see me around It doesn't mean that I fell Yeah I'm doing well I got some roses to smell I hope you smile when I'm gone It means I had the strength to move on To find another story to tell To answer the bell I got some roses to smell Cause every screen the we tap is screaming that bigger is better Better is how you make yourself matter But matter is fleeting Am I living to feed a machine that I'm blind to see? No point in hiding my pride if there's no privacy I've already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up And crying out for attention And sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me Knowing well that it don't mean sh** Going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit I'm done being a b**h to ambition I'm already rich I got a head that's full of million dollar questions And the length of it Is I don't need the courage to work I want the strength to quit Don't let my ghost drag you down If you don't see me around It doesn't mean that I fell Yeah I'm doing well I got some roses to smell I hope you smile when I'm gone It means I had the strength to move on To find another story to tell To answer the bell I got some roses to smell
