Studrique, Elliott Maynes - Pompeii lyrics

World blazing ashes surround me
I sleep at night safe and soundly
This house is mine yeah it's mounded
Built an empire in my town I founded
Lone wolf I'm gone with no wolf pack
Whether on stage or on the school track
From the daytime to the pitch black
The way I'm living you think
I'd have a heart attack
Facing fact that I'm never gonna
See my coaches back
The time we had I never wasted
Because I live life happy no hatred
I see volcanoes erupting
I hear the thunder from lightning
Revelation's here, I ain't fighting
I'm off to Heaven so inviting

But, if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?

Thirteen was in a fantasy
Today endure reality good to bad to travesty
Like MacBeth a tragedy
The team's hurt like a slit wrist
On top of this me and my girl just split
Had to call it quit's since the fit's had me
Stressing out about things I never did but
Forget about that I'm blessed
In love with myself, Kanye West
Crash in my lane best come correct
Stay if you wanna connect
But right now I'm hitting the pinnacle
You can hear in the syllables
That my thinking is critical
Refined like a mineral
I know it gets difficult
Do you need a visual to see
You can't live life so cynical?

But, if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?

Oh where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down in
The city that we love
(Friendships sink faster than you think
Tried to help you swim but
You couldn't help yourself
You were with me at the belt
Now you lock hands with someone else)
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
(But screw it I'm buzzing
Like Lightyear outta here
Before scholarships for college disappear
Interfere if you really want to
But, I'm doing just fine here without you)

But, if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
