The Resistance - Skillet

Yesterday when we were getting high You were invited, you would've liked it Uh-uh I know you all too well I said that we could kiss the past goodbye But you weren't excited, there's no way to fight it You could stay, but shawty here I go Uh, should I spend the weekend in Vegas? I'm living inside the moment, not taking pictures to save it I mean, how could I forget? My memory's never faded I can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it I am, still here with who I started with The game needed life, I put my heart in it I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit Carry the weight for my city, like a cargo ship Uh, I'm 23 with a money tree Growing more too, I just planted a hunna seeds It's ironic 'cause my mother was a florist And that's how she met my pops And now my garden is enormous It's happenin' Penny Lane, just like you said I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead Uh-uh, that's word to the millions that they puttin' up I'm tryna do better than good enough What am I afraid of? This is supposed to be what dreams are made of But people I don't have the time to hang with Always look at me and say the same shit They say, "You promised me you would never change" You promised me you would never change Am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on, before they got some shit for me to snap on Now that I'm on, I don't really wanna worry 'bout gettin' back on I'm just tryna stay on, get my fucking buffet on I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home And I be actin' like I don't know how to work a phone But hit re-dial, you'll see that I just called Some chick I met at the mall, that I barely know at all And, plus this woman that I messed with unprotected Texted saying she wished she would have kept it The one that I'm layin' next to just looked over and read it Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is I'm holding on by a thread It's like I'm high right now, the guy right now And you can tell by looking in my eyes right now That nothing really comes as a surprise right now 'Cause we just having the time of our lives right now What am I afraid of? This is supposed to be what dreams are made of But people I don't have the time to hang with Always look at me and say the same shit They say, "You promised me you would never change" You promised me you would never change Uh, I live by some advice this girl Alyssa told me The other day Alyssa told me that she missed the old me Which made me question when I went missing And when I start treating my friends different Maybe it was the fast-paced switch up Put up two guns in my face during the stick up Maybe 'cause the girl I thought trusted Was who set the whole shit up But in fact I haven't seen 'em, since they locked Big Rich up I know, the same time I'm quick to forget I'm 'bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets Burn it all, burn it all, I'm startin' it fresh 'Cause half the time I got it right, I probably guessed Did I just trade free time for camera time? Will I blow all of this money baby, Hammer Time? Yeah, I just need some closure Ain't no turning back for me, I'm in it 'til it's over

In a quaint caravan There's a lady they call the Gypsy She can look in the future And drive away all your fears Everything will come right If you only believe the Gypsy She could tell at a glance That my heart was so full of tears She looked at my hand and told me My lover was always true And yet in my heart I knew, dear Somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday You see, she looked at my hand and Told me that my baby would always be true And yet, in my heart I knew, dear That somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday

You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide, I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne I haven't been around my town in a long while I apologize, but I I've been trying to get this money like I got a couple kids who rely... On me But I remember on the bathroom floor Before I went on tour Like you said we couldn't do it again... 'Cause you had a thing with some other man You said it was love And you said you were lost Then you wished me good luck To find somebody to love But, oooh Now I've heard that you're single And uh huh, I'll give you something to live for Yes, I will Honey please You never thought you'd ever see my face again But your love just swayed the lies When he stared into your eyes He just might be too good for you You're almost dead to him You're sleeping with a frozen heart Well baby girl it's over now And you can always count on me Your unshackled boy, unrestrained to touch So immune to love And it feels so priceless to me That you're always free That you'll take me in Now I'm everything, your everything I bet you'll take me in I know you'll take me in now The same place I left you in (we) I bet you'll take me in I know you'll take me in I know you'll take me in The same place I left you in We Who?

You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne

I wish I was a pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Looking at the landscape What a peaceful tiny scene Staring over the skyline Oh I feel the blue dancing on my wings Turn off the engine Imagine what tomorrow brings The time we wont delay Take it from the other side Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life I wish I was a fighter pilot Soaring over everyone and everything Well through the smoke and fire Imagine the hell I'd bring The time we won't delay Take it from the other side You're born and lost But its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Well it's a cold, lost and shame Wash it all out Please wash it all away Now the story's old But its all been told Wish I And I wish I'd fly Alright I wish I was an outlaw Spend my life kicking ass and takin' names There would be no love lost Town to town killin dreams The lines they turn to gray Take it from the inside Born and lost but its a one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life A one more time To get my fill Of this old forgotten thrill, in this life Ahh
