dynastic - the mantra
00
Copied!
{Verse 1}
Can we take the long way home?
I don't wanna pay attention
Can we stop and sit and smoke
I'm desperate for a distraction
Do you also feel undone?
Now I fear anyone
Who seems to understand the mantra
And it goes
{Chorus}
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
When you just hold it in
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
When you just hold it in
{Post-Chorus}
And God, the world's so loud nowadays
But things could quiet down
If we just figure it out
Like we always do
{Verse 2}
Did you take the wrong way home?
I know you wanted something
That made you feel a little less alone
And not surrounded by nothing
I project myself on you
'Cause you're the only wall in this room
Without a window with a view
Yeah, it goes
{Chorus}
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
When you just hold it in
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
{Post-Chorus}
And God, the world's so loud nowadays
But things could quiet down
If we just figure it out
Like we always do
Like we always will
Like we promised to each other
When we loitered on the treadmill
Look how that turned out
Are you happier now?
Do you think if you were honest
When you should have been
Things would be different?
{Chorus}
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
When you just hold it in
Peace and love and happiness
Doesn't really mean shit
When you don't practice it
When you just hold it in
{Bridge}
You kissed me
I called you a nickname then
You turned to me and said
"Don't call me that right now"
As I'm leaving your life
And your house
It was muscle memory to adore you
I don't think it hit me yet
One year came and it went
Oh, it's already April 10th
Counting down to the midnight you left
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes
{Verse 3}
I destroyed the pictures
That I kept up on my closet door
Of us, the last time we were happy
I tried to wear the necklace on my chest
But it was too much
So I threw it in the trash
And I didn't take it back
{Outro}
