Don't Believe the Hype Songtext
von TNT

I was 22 when they closed it down
With abandoned plans couldn′t follow through
Don't forget you could die today
If you got more to say, what you got to lose?
You, couldn′t guide my way
You, couldn't find my place
You, woulda put up chase
That was something only I could do

Radio dial set to 17
Spark fire faster than an evergreen
My dreams better than I'd ever seen
But they want me to follow suit
Don′t ever let the world swallow you
We do the best that we all can do
Just know we knew it was all for you
All for you to call a truce before hell broke loose


What′s the key to life?
Here for the love, don't believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype

On the outskirts of this abandoned land
Medusa beggin′ me to take a glance
Adamant that I had a chance
Double knots how I tie my vans
My shoes are dirty but my soul stay clean
Devil at work tryin' to intervene
Who out here gonna intercede?
When all hope leaves in these injuries

And enter these thoughts of unjust deeds
Impure plights of perilous pleas
From light snuffed out as the darkness creeps
Like centipedes throught the crypts of me
No tattoos but I spill this ink
I paint this picture, write this symphony
Craft this rhyme, make this poetry
Until this ode to you means the most to me


What's the key to life?
Here for the love, don′t believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype

Rag tag crew
Got nothin′ to lose
You fell from the sky
You came outta the blue
You've seen all my wounds
You′ve seen the blood ooze
You've seen the sun potrude
When the darkness would pollute

You were all alone at the cusp of it
When nobody else wanted it
Want to quit at the front of it
Strength mustered it and powered through
The sweetness of cowards sours soon
They retreat before the hour's through
If never′s now and forever looms
Then of many moments these the chosen few

What′s the key to life?
Here for the love, don't believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype
Don′t believe the hype, don't believe the hype
