There's better roads, better roads that you could traverse
You didn't know, now you know that this your universe
Speak slow to your soul, teach yourself to grow
Don't be a domino, ah
Sometimes it's hard to cope with the vertigo
Both ends burning slow, I said
At times the only way through is simply letting go
To be on your own
That silence echoed, that white divide with a line I never crossed
I'm fine in bed, though my potential shouldn't be put to rest
It's a crime, I said so
'Member times on the benzos?
Stayin' high just to write 'bout a life I despised
I devised a disguise for the mental, hey
There's better roads, better roads that you could traverse
You didn't know, now you know that this your universe
Speak slow to your soul, teach yourself to grow
Don't be a domino, ah
Like shades of a starry night without the glitter
My room turned black, ah
I don't know how to turn this around without turning back
And now my space has turned from dark to stormy grey
I can't bash the progress of the day, but
I know that it could've been better
Think I could've had my life together, hold up
Huh, if I'm easy on me, will I be like them?
Wait and see, but I lack patience, guarantee nobody gon' do it like me
Run with the team and we don't promote violence
We come with a dream and don't care if you like it
One fell asleep and they didn't survive the night
So while I'm alive, I find it imperative I check the vibe
Thicker than blood are the ties, the why is life
The reason I always be asking my guys if they're doing alright, let's get it
There's better roads, better roads that you could traverse
You didn't know, now you know that this your universe
Speak slow to your soul, teach yourself to grow
Don't be a domino, ah
We're on our own, even when we are surrounded, yeah
But you can get through anything, just never doubt yourself
Speak slow to your soul, let your conscience know
You won't be a domino
