The Suburbs - PRICELESS

OK so
I've been messing with this idea of peace
But it's nothing to crazy
Just me trying to be quiet
'Cos a peace of mind
Is really hard to get
When the world is hella noisy
And covered in a blanket
We acting all Dazed
Like we shooting for a mag, now
Flipping through these pages
Have me feeling hella sad
Stained glass all high and mighty
Figured I might lead the class
All dogs got lots to say
The truth be told
Is not much time

Hard to get the bread
When you slipping on the butter
(Butter)
Hard to keep focus
When your head is in the gutter
(Gutter)
I ain't going out
Stay inside for the summer
Or if I do
A hoodie on my head
I'm undercover

Need some more time
So I pause the decoder
(Pause)
Getting a lil hungry
(Yeah)
Eat the chip on my shoulder
Forget about the past
I'm deleting the folders
Meet you at the end
Speak again when I'm older

Loosen up my bearings in a crisis
Look into your iris
You're lifeless
Ain't got no price-tag because I'm priceless
Still a dark world
Turn down the brightness

One day you will find it
We were told
But we've ran miles
And we're still on this raod
As we grow tired
'Til the aching of our bones
I see there's no change
That will happen on its own
So for now
While they don't ache
I should let you know
If we want it, we gon' take it
Never not a second
Minute, hour
Ever wasted
Simply let them go
If they're playing with your patience
Priceless

I work on max
No compromising
I was up before the rising
Keep my focus
Hocus pocus
I was with you
Now I'm higher
I'm high fiving with Midas
A perfect package and product
The purest form of the waters
I'm throwing pennies
Important
Run around, before the race
I got my balance, Will and Grace
To see my vision, just a glimpse
I know a gaze will leave you dazed
Long road but I'm patient
Couple potholes, imma face 'em
'Til I rest in a dark place
In the cold sand where we destined

Care's at a minimum
I could give a f*ck about the help
They've been getting some tips
I ain't suckin' none
Proudly the problem son
The child of the poster
Fuel the rebellion
Drink with no coaster
Shoot in the dark
Got your face on the box
Trade an arm, and a leg
For your name on the top
There's still stones you should get
For this spell to plan out
For an equal exchange
Someone else should get cropped

One day you will find it
We were told
But we've ran miles
And we're still on this raod
As we grow tired
'Til the aching of our bones
I see there's no change
That will happen on its own
So for now
While they don't ache
I should let you know
If we want it, we gon' take it
Never not a second
Minute, hour
Ever wasted
Simply let them go
If they're playing with your patience
Priceless
