Ultramarine

Just leave it tonight, you'll wake up and know
Precocious child out here on your own
My love
Out here on your own, own, own, own (Yeah, yeah)
Own, own, own, own, own

It was like around '99 with white wine in hand
Dancing silhouettes, blue Skyline
I'd go to bed early, my bedroom was right by it
Singing "Gloria in excelsis Deo", sure enough
Angels came to comfort us
And we rode on wings through all of it
Our parents used to fight, Dad moved out of home
And he just moved five houses down the road
Said he don't know how to cope through a cloud of smoke
But he was just depressed and scared, now I know
My eyes glazed over
That's when my cousin Emma played me Dr. Dre in the car
Things changed forever, me and rap been through it all

But we stay together since buffet Pizza Hut b-day dinners
When they had more locations
Mum had to work, Grandma basically raised us
Thanks to them we didn't know what pain was
Dec would die on GoldenEye and cry for ages
We was angry at the codeine packs
My brothers shouldn't be seeing that
These things we swore we'd never reenact
Then you grow up and start feeling sad

Through the walls, through the walls of heaven
Through the walls, through the walls of heaven

When my grandpa died, it was a weird feeling
Didn't give a fuck after all these years drinking
So tell me, why these tears dripping?
Maybe we're crying 'cause things should of been different
And death is scary
We're all heading there and we don't get it, really
Then it sings like a sweet Stradivarius
And then they bury us or they spread the dust
Fuck that talk, I wanna talk about summertimes
Nine in a five-seater, drunken nights under skies
Of ultramarine strobe lights in a party I wasn't invited to

We just sat outside, bloody-eyed
Hillary and Enzo were so in love that night
But everyone broke up from those younger times
And got someone else at least a couple times
Can't look at me the same, I'm just some other guy
Well, that's justified, señorita, I feel for you
Said I loved you the second week, it was clearly true
Guess we're both sick, you said, "I feel it too"
Forever didn't seem so far when you were twenty-two
Fights went right through the walls, tried to look happy
Walk outside, the neighbours wouldn't even look at me
Two days after I turned my album in, I left her
That was one short forever

Through the walls, through the walls of heaven
Through the walls, through the walls of heaven
And the sky was ultramarine
Oh, it's different now, it's different now
Seeing you now, seeing you now
It's different now, it's different now this time
It's different now, it's different now
