In Good Time

Lyrics

I look
 Out onto this lake
 I see the reflection of this moon hit
 Moonlit ripples on the surface
 Got me feeling foolish
 Childhood memories make me smile
 I reminisce
 I get lost up in these thoughts, man
 I hope this never ends
 But just then
 I hear a train off in the distance
 Brings me back down to the earth
 And takes me up out of this vision
 Remember where I'm at
 The shadows in these fears
 They've always seemed to hold me back
 But tonight the night's clear
 And tonight the light's near
 And I might just rhyme
 Hand me the mic
 This drive
 This is shit that they can't steer
 Eclipse of me right here
 Between the moon and this pavement
 I look deep in my past, man
 And wonder just where my days went
 Flagrant fouls
 Running this court of life
 Sort of like a new age slave
 Knowing his way is paved
 With more than Nikes
 Ignore the hype of the white airs
 And we might fair
 And right then I look across the lake
 A shadow's right there
 In good time
 Maybe we'll understand
 How can we understand what's right?
 If we don't understand what's wrong?
 All together while we sing these sad songs
 Frame of mind
 Speaks with negligence
 How can we understand what's right?
 If we don't understand what's wrong?
 All together while we sing these sad songs
 Now give me
 Something from nothing
 Or something I can believe
 I need to have more faith
 Or these mistakes
 Will eat away at me
 Please, mama, pray for me
 I don't think mine are getting through
 And if they are he doesn't listen
 The fuck do I do?
 Nothing to lose
 Entrusting nothing to chance
 I've been burned by the devil
 When she asked me to dance
 And I would
 Fall from this ledge
 If I came any closer
 I hold my life in a glass
 That's just about to tip over
 And so if back on that night
 Before the bottles and the pills finished
 And she heard this
 Maybe shit would've turned out different
 She would have come out
 Swinging and fighting to live
 Instead of writing letters
 To her childhood friends
 That read:
 "Im sorry that we grew apart
 But you'll always have my heart
 And all these times I had with you
 Were light when it was dark."
 She signed and sealed 'em with a kiss
 And went about her way
 And in the morning
 Her mama mourns her
 Cuz she won't live to see another day
 But they say
 In good time
 Maybe we'll understand
 How can we understand what's right?
 If we don't understand what's wrong?
 All together while we sing these sad songs
 Frame of mind
 Speaks with negligence
 How can we understand what's right?
 If we don't understand what's wrong?
 All together while we sing these sad songs
 I feel like what we're here to do
 Is let those people know that they're not alone, ya know?
 Because I think that's the ultimate the...
 Like, the worst part of it is when you feel that loneliness, ya know?
 When you feel like the people who are closest to you
 Who are the ones that are supposed to kinda understand you
 Are the ones that think that you're the furthest off track
 Because I find when you awake
 When you wake up
 Whatever you wanna call it
 That process of starting to understand
 And see the things that
 You didn't want to see that you were blind to
 I feel like that can be a...
 A point in your life
 That makes or breaks you
 The world takes you and it grows you
 But it can also destroy you at the same time
 In good time
 Maybe we'll understand
 Frame of mind
 Speaks with negligence
