Greydon Square - Gone lyrics

Yea, hopefully this'll explain a
Little bit better why I left, so abruptly
All it took was for somebody to ask why
You know? Look

It's been a nice ride
But like nice rides it comes to an end
So I'll step aside like the nice guy
They called my passion anger and then
Said that I was angry
But what it really was is the
Fact they couldn't contain me
Then they criticized my gang life
Then they said that I was a
Fundamentalist atheist in the same night
I keep my heat on my hip
Like I don't walk without it
And I've seen people get shot
But I don't talk about it
I live in the real world
This ain't no fantasy
But, I got your attention even if
You ain't a fan of me
It's family that we all after
But now it's Greydon Square that
Has to close the chapter
Maybe someone look after everyone
After I'm gone i miss you all already
And for the record my name's
Not Greydon it's really Eddie
But, I'ma keep it steady
Yea I'ma keep it stompin'
How many quantum physics majors do
You know from Compton?
See they expect me to fail
They expect me in jail
But they don't expect me to sell
That's why I stopped
But, I'm not back on the block
I'm back in them books
Laughin' at crooks that's trying to swap
A queen for a rook
And it only took four atheist
Nations and three babbles
Hopefully that was enough
I'm Greydon Square signin' off
Peace, love and happiness to everyone
That's kind at heart much love to you all

It's just the same old thing that
I go through every day
So maybe I'll stop now
I think I'll just stop now
Just look at how much of myself I gave away
So maybe I'll stop now
I think I'll just stop now

Yea, yea i hope you people take my atheist
Nation and run wit it have fun wit it
Until everything's done with it
And if you have an opinion make
Sure you come wit it
Some responded well to the
Videos and some didn't
I shouldn't have to defend
Myself from other atheists
I really thought that we were
On the same side
After the blasphemy challenge
Hell everything changed
I thought it was insane we
Were more divided than ever
But, I pressed on and made
A couple of more videos
Trying not to slug it out with silly foes
Then they said that I
Wasn't supporting other people
That I was doin' this and it
Was all about my ego
Are you serious? That's when I actually knew
That there was really nothing left to do
So I left that's when I actually knew
That there was really nothing left to do
So I left

It's just the same old thing that
I go through every day
So maybe I'll stop now
I think I'll just stop now
Just look at how much of myself I gave away
So maybe I'll stop now
I think I'll just stop now

Ya know, when I did that song "Gone"
I actually did it with the
The full intention of not
Releasing any more music
Or doing any more "atheist nations"
Or anything like that
The funny thing about that song, though
Is that it ended up turning out to be the
First song of this record
That I actually completed
These next three songs though, I did before
In fact before I changed my
Name to "Greydon Square"
I had, I had written these
Songs i wrote these songs, ya know
They're years old in fact
"Dear Journal" is at least four years old
So, with that being said
I hope you guys enjoy 'em
They'll probably give you a
Different perspective about me
Besides the rigid, vigilant
Atheist, philosophical, ya know
Debater whatever the case may be
Than, you know, that you've gotten so far
So, I hope you guys enjoy it
I wanna specifically thank several people
For making this possible:
Jason, Brian Sapient, Jeff
Tosh, Antoine, Cedric, my mother Debra
So anyway, hopefully you guys enjoy it
And look out for The CPT Theorem
The next album in the trilogy
Talk to you later, peace
