The Day That It Happened GG x Shlohmo by Grey Ghost Lyrics
[Verse 1: Grey Ghost, Grey Ghost & The Kin]
I’ll always remember the moment it happened
Remember the place in my room I was standin’
She came in and explained she was leavin’
I was just a kid, so I didn’t understand it
My sister pleaded with her not to leave
But she walked out the door of this mansion
I looked down the hall and I saw my dad
With his head in his hands, he was crushed by the sadness
He’d always play, what was it?
“The Day You Went Away” by Wendy Matthews
I guess that he thought it would rain on the
On the day that it happened
See, dad’s mum died when he was young
So he knew what it was like to be abandoned
Now I know that mum gave him chances
But he stepped forward and two steps backwards
Just remember the house was so damn still
When the waves came crashin’
On the day that it happened
On the day that it happened, yeah
[Chorus: The Kin]
I can’t believe the lives we’re livin’
I can’t believe those times we’re missin’
Were you hypnotised or missing
With the whole damn thing?
[Verse 2: Grey Ghost]
Ay
Ayo, our concept of love is created by the ones
Who bring us up through an age where we take it all in
So when you see that broken down right in front of your eyes
It’s messed up, I don’t know where to begin
I know way too many of you out there can relate
To what I’m sayin’, we’re the most complicated generation
Might sound like complainin’, first world kids
But in truth is fucked up, no matter where you is
In my case, my mum [?] hooked up with a fuckhead
Since then had much less success than she deserves
You don’t know just how deep it burns
To know she’s seen it worse, that’s why I need this verse
Came to me with a black eye when it went down
I was like: “Where is this guy? He fucked up now” (Where the fuck is this guy?)
But he’s the father of my half brother and sister
Who I’ve held on to so tightly I got blisters
And it might be that fact that I see so much of me in them
That I don’t want ‘em to see the places I’ve been
So I try to keep them undercover from the pain
But it’s kinda like tryna stay dry within the rain
[Pre-Chorus: Grey Ghost]
Kinda like tryna stay dry within the rain
Kinda like tryna stay dry within the rain
[Chorus: The Kin]
I can’t believe the lives we’re livin’
I can’t believe those times we’re missin’
Were you hypnotised or missing
With the whole damn thing?
I can’t believe the lives we’re livin’
I can’t believe those times we’re missin’
Were you hypnotised or missing
With the whole damn thing?
[Outro: The Kin]
Oh
Were you missing?
Were you missing?
I miss you
I’ll always remember the moment it happened
Remember the place in my room I was standin’
She came in and explained she was leavin’
I was just a kid, so I didn’t understand it
My sister pleaded with her not to leave
But she walked out the door of this mansion
I looked down the hall and I saw my dad
With his head in his hands, he was crushed by the sadness
