The Next Guy - Extended Version by YomiShious Lyrics
[Verse 1 - YomiShious]
Trust doesn't truly equivalate to lust
You pushed, I forced back against the plate with the fork you stabbed
Stabbed away to create insane-ity
Grain of salt placed on something you think is so small to burn
It was all jealousy
Though, I doubt you'd come forth willingly
You saw me with someone else and you shook, I moved on
Two months later and I somehow found a way
Then you got in the way, and tried to tear it all apart out of hate
[Hook - Nonymous]
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know
[Verse 2 - YomiShious]
No one wants to hear my voice unless it's through the mic
But as I'm already at the top the bar gets set that much more high
And if I didn't convey what I'm feeling through the beat of tune I'd
Be forced to take a hike
And even if I ran back and asked, why?
I'd only be at peace if I was out of this shell like, Captain Pike, on
The Enterprise, but if you don't remember he was ready to hand
The torch to the next one
Yeah the next one
And I'm getting all these urges, and I don't know what's the right
One
Whenever they come back to haunt, I'll do what I've always done
I'll run
The part of my life when she was at my side was fun
But as the saying goes, "Nothing lasts forever", it's done
I'm feeling restless, and reckless
I don't know if my body can take this
Insomnia creeping in at night when my mind forces me to
Reminisce
If I don't try to find distractions then I'll never be able to forget
You
But I don't know if I want to
[Hook - Nonymous]
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know
[Verse 3 - YomiShious]
Seemed like a good idea, wanting to go to college
But all the pressure built up the expectations I already had at the
Top of the stage
No need to say that I didn't get the message but when I found out
She was there, all the scrapped pages were picked up and
Scrapped apart again!
Feeling the clouds inside hyper up my pain
Insecurities build up again
What am I gonna do without someone who's on the same level
Like Zain?
Am I gonna go back to pill addiction, or will get worse than it
Already was, and I'm gonna mix em?
But when I finally pushed away the clouds, it wasn't just on me
It was thanks to the people who got close to me I allowed
If not for her then how could my scars have got sewed back
Together?
You know I'm grateful
But she got too close and has that look in her eyes that I can't
Quite understand
I can't look back at them to try and scan em
Cos if I ever did then I'm worried I might want more than a friend
Who I already trust, and I trust her so much
[Hook - Nonymous]
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know
Shout, shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
[Verse 4 - YomiShious]
There wasn't a way for me to thank you
Cause I don't know if you knew what you did
Or you know what you do
With that effect on people to try to help them to see the truth
Maybe you try to take a step into their shoes
But I wanted to ask you for a drink
But then I blew all my chances back down the drain of the sink
Cause you've already moved on from another guy you hated for
His lies
But I can't really say anything cause you never really knew that I
Wanted to try
All I can really say is, I hope you're happy, with the next guy
[Hook - Nonymous]
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know
