In My Head by King Leon Lyrics
[Intro]
I don't know how to start this
Fuck it
Dear diary, my very first installation
The sun ain't glowing too hard, despite L.A's winter
I see some new kids on the block, though new ones come every week
This time they kicked that old nice lady up the block for some fee
You know the nice one who would come greet the fam every day
From my way to school
Now there's a horizontal fence in its place
Seems like this is the new agenda for hoods
Yuppies and the new rich kids givin me dirty looks
Like I'm the invader here
Like I need to disappear
Like that little ol' lady's a nuisance to everyone here
Just pack your bags and take the cash, cash out on all of your dreams
Because this little ol' hood of yours will be a place for me
Despite the crying and the screaming, and the shots of guns in the evening
Who could've thought the answer relied on displacing people?
So will I ever see the people I called family again?
I don't know, maybe a sip of coffee's the trick
[Verse 1]
There I go thinking again
Of all the lost time that I spent in my head
Where I can go and trot in the sand
And the pattering rain turns to waves in a flash
[Chorus]
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For choosing solitude
But all I know’s that in my head
My thoughts are free to rest
[Verse 2]
It's dark in here but what do I care
The suns been too much for these eyes to bear
When fields die they yellow from the air
But in here's where the dead don't ever appear
[Chorus]
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For living in the dark
But I don’t care cause I’m my head
My thoughts are free to rest
[Bridge]
I've done had enough
[Verse 3]
I guess it’s good to let em all be
There’s always my room I got to comfort me
All of the dark that I speak
It don’t sound too bad, once you get to know me
[Chorus]
Or maybe I’m the one at fault here
For choosing solitude
But all I've known's that in my head
My thoughts are free to rest
I don't know how to start this
Fuck it
