august - Taylor Swift

August clown's a saint And I just figured out why I've been walking through the sand With just you on my mind And all that's left of the summer sky Is the moment you're flying by There's things a boy can never tell Know you by your hands too well (2x) Damn you from this wretched boy You've stolen more than sleep and joy An' I'm goin' back where I belong Where the time is right and straight and slow Going back where I belong Just to watch them thistles grow August skin's left golden brown And I've seen too much of this lonely town Too much thinking walking 'round Too much talking August clown (2x) Damn you from this wretched boy You've stolen more than sleep and joy I'm going back where I belong Where the time is straight and right and slow Going back where I belong Just to watch them thistles grow...

This hollow feeling The knowledge that you exist Amidst your insecurities Cover up only to coward out And never shutting up Only to never speak aloud Have you dried up entirely? The walls of a church don't make it holy It's what's authentic that completes the sum of its parts Don't excuse yourself from life today On the pretense of your past You're hurt, you're broken, that's alright This might be what it takes to wake you up This might be what it takes to wake you up Are you at your wits end yet? Are you at your wits end, wits end yet, yet? Are you at your wits end Are you at your wits end yet? The walls of a church don't make it holy Security isn't glitzy or glamorous Concrete or cohesive Therein lies the truth Lift your head up high It's what we know we aren't That makes us who we are It's what we know we aren't That makes us who we are You're hurt, you're broken, that's alright That makes us who we are (who we are) You're hurt, you're broken, that's alright That makes us who we are

Word got around that a nigga got shot Heard a nigga drew down' and he bucked so his ass got popped We was on my block trying to move these rocks Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops We was right off third and polock chilling in the back of the tracks Niggas got packs, trying to get them racks X-5 I was riding in the back with the brother's' round kicking in the gat in my lap 17 had no dreams, drinking four loco's, Sprite and codeine First class I was on lean, said fuck high-school, so I left Reed. No one told me life would be this way! I swear nobody told me Guess this is the game we chose to play Crazy how it's always been the same! People dying every day, that ain't nothing new When you from downtown, downtown! Out here tryna make a way I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down! (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Phone just RANG heard a nigga got got He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots He ain't gettin' no love from the cops, nobody got caught Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back Let 'em know 'cause a nigga gotta feel that! Sitting shotgun with the shot gun When you hear the shots come, nigga don't run! Already bad, it can only get worse Hand full of steel 'cause the shit still hurts Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt. No one told me life would be this way! I swear nobody told me Guess this is the game we chose to play Crazy how it's always been the same! People dying every day, that ain't nothing new When you from downtown, downtown! Out here tryna make a way I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down! (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Once upon a time down town in the nine (9th ward) Where they don't mind dying Sworn to a life of crime, was a youngin' that only stood 5'5 Big money on his mind, clothes ain't wrinkled while his hands on his iron. Shot six times right in front of my mom Kind of 32, man, I'm lucky to survive On a pac, juice real niggas don't die! Bitch, I'm from Mazant slang crack on the same set Blood stains at from a homie with his head cracked O'Gs like A' wacks they've been doing this shit way back since A track. And we yell where the gang at You can get fame there from the way you're going to bang that Shoot for the head watch how you aim that Price on your head and we gon' take that It's about to go down, you ain't about this then you better go now Sun going down, keep it door down! Everybody lay down. Ski mask down! All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown Last thing you hear is my gun going pow It happens every day round my way This ain't nothing new you grew up downtown. People dying every day, that ain't nothing new When you from downtown, downtown! I'm just trying to make a way, I won't let these niggas take me down-down, down! (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em (So I ride) Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em

I fell in love with a girl Sunday church mornings, she put on her pearls Come Monday morning, found her dead Tucked in our sheets Years passed, I slowly forgot The feeling of loving someone in my thoughts But I've begun feeling ice cold kisses On my cheeks I am in love with a ghost And she's in love with me At night I am left with my mind I reach for her hand, but it's cold and unkind Reminds me of summer nights We two shared intertwined The sheets she adorns on her head Look just like the ones we crocheted for our bed Her soft fatal whispers make me wish That I were dead I am in love with a ghost And she's hanging by a thread I know that you don't love me You're just searching for a body And you're hoping I'll comply Yes I know you do not love me But I wish you were proud of me To finally say goodbye
