Memphis Gatsby - All of it Means Nothing

I can still see it so clear
Looking across the pier
It filled her eyes with tears
A temple built from sin
It housed his lonely soul
The man was on a roll
It's crazy to think all of it meant nothing to him then

Can't let go of all these lies
He never even tried
It would be his demise
Poor bastard what a fool
But I have to admit
His spirit never quit
And in the end I can't help but wanna be like him now

No use now
Leave this town
Stick around
Don't try to be something you're not
Can't be bought
Lost the plot
Hope I learn something

When we go out on the town
The sweat upon his brow
Is something he allows
To ease himself of stress
The evening was wrap
He was a handsome chap
The girls would give him glances and giggles and smiles there

Baby I am an honest man
This wasn't all part of some big plan
I was just trying to have some fun
A little hard to do when your on the run
Baby I try the best I can
I can't remember when it all began
Reality is not quite what it seems
These lies are so obscene

Went through life without a care
Outside he'd feel the air
He didn't have a prayer
Worst pain he'd ever known
That's never what meant
Came to time to pay the rent
God damn these awful leeches are starting to drain me

Filled the void too much shit
It's a bottomless pit
Never developed grit
He lost her at hello
But she will never know
Cause she will never go
But hey I guess what she don't know ain't gonna hurt her

No use now
Leave this town
Stick around
Don't try to be something you're not
Can't be bought
Lost the plot
I hope that I learn something

When we go out on the town
The sweat upon his brow
Is something he allows
To ease himself of stress
The evening was wrap
He was a handsome chap
The girls would give him glances and giggles and smiles there

Baby I am an honest man
This wasn't all part of some big plan
I was just trying to have some fun
A little hard to do when your on the run
Baby I try the best I can
I can't remember when it all began
Reality is not quite what it seems
Life is just a dream

I can still see it so clear
Looking across the pier
It filled her eyes with tears
A temple built from sin
It housed his lonely soul
The man was on a roll
It's crazy to think all of it means nothing to him now
