Esteem Fiend

If I left tomorrow would you notice?
 This familiar town's getting the best of me
 Whispers on sidewalks
 Steady shit talk when you're not around
 The story turns so many directions
 Getting lost doesn't sound too bad
 [Chorus]
 Maybe I'll see you somewhere down the road
 If not, that's all right either way
 Open your eyes quit being blinded
 By the nonsense wrong does bring
 Keep facing forward 'cause you're falling backward without any idea
 That the people smiling haven't a clue who'll be popular next year
 [Chorus-add on]
 Only fools will rush for the gold
 If only they knew it's painted yellow
 Quick stop the bottom drops lower than you want to feel
 Might as well kneel
 First start blown apart begging for another chance to correct mistakes
 Why should I try fixing broken wings you'll never fly?
 With bricks strapped on your waste line sinking in mud and tears
 Move a little faster or you'll get run over
 Pick up the speed or else head for cover
 Once again
 Map out a safe route don't travel on a clouded mind leave worries behind
 There are enough situations to face save your strength I'm saving mine
 You've latched on this long yet your grip seems to loosen weaken
 Slipping through the palms of a gentle hand
 I thought you were a careful man
 Farewell old city
 At least for right now
 See you soon
 Sooner than I want
