[Intro: phem]
When you're there
A perfect night's a nightmare too
I feel so cold, I'm hurt with you
Shades of pink and shades of blue

[Verse 1: mgk]
Uh, this feels like the opposite of real life
On my way to Valhalla on a steel bike
Living fantasy like J.K. Rowling
I'm J.R.R. Tolkien, these spliffs I love smoking
My hands full of stones and gold
I'm Lord of the Rings, needles sewed, new clothes
But it's more than it seems, I seen dreams implode
Seen teens turn old before they grown
Burnt out before they fade away slow
I used to pick you up, now I don't
There's some things I would rewind, but I don't have the remote
There's some things I manifested I wish I never wrote
And all my friends? Really family, 'cause my bloodline's ghost (Uh-uh)

[Pre-Chorus: mgk]
Yeah, it's the life we chose
Highways to Hellcats where Angel Wing goes
I know I look back, the path went rogue
I know I look back, I'm halfway home (I'm halfway home)

[Chorus: mgk, phem, mgk & phem]
So far away from where you are (Uh-uh)
Without a cause, I know I'm fu*ked up
But I'm not sorry
And I won't meet you where you are (Uh-uh; yeah)
I make my own luck
Because I don't believe in karma

[Verse 2: mgk]
I stopped counting my age
Because my face still look the same
So instead of years, I use pain
And if that's the case, then I'm 500
I been in a race with my trauma, can't outrun it
No wonder why I drive like I'm being chased
Pack up and move houses instead of renovate
Put my newborn daughter to bed at 8
Then I'm back on the interstate
Chain-smoking, looking like I'm 'bout to hyperventilate
Got everything to celebrate on the outside
Still none of that eliminates what is inside
And since I've gotta find a way to cope
I start by reversing some of the words I wrote
Instead of being a demon, be a beacon of hope
'Cause one day we're hanging out
The next day you're hanging from a rope, uh

[Chorus: mgk, phem, mgk & phem]
So far away from where you are (Uh-uh)
Without a cause, I know I'm fu*ked up
But I'm not sorry
And I won't meet you where you are (Uh-uh; yeah)
I make my own luck
Because I don't believe in karma

[Post-Chorus: mgk, mgk & phem]
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Without a cause, I know I'm fu*ked up
But I'm not sorry
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
I make my own luck
Because I don't believe in karma

[Bridge: mgk]
Yeah, this feels like the opposite of real life
Uh, yeah
This feels like the opposite of real life
Uh, yeah, mm-mm

[Outro: phem]
When you're there
A perfect night's a nightmare too
I feel so cold, I'm hurt with you
Shades of pink and shades of blue
