Tupac Is In My Living Room

from The House Hippos [EP] by The House Hippos

/

lyrics

Take my hand and break away
The web that has crossed your face
Open eyes so very wide
Now you know just who has lied
There are those who've disappeared
Some may say it's very weird
Those who spoke or gave a voice
To people without any choice
The news reels flash over again
Saying we brought our own end
The bombs fall upon our home
Now you are truly alone
What we did is sit and watch
As they took our lives to torch
What is this for what's the gain
Only for some liquid grain
Take my hand and break away
The web that has crossed your face

Take it back you know what I mean
I see the desperate hands out
What you lack is some sort of spine
You need to find your dreams now
Break away from the carnage
Before you fall into pieces
Less you know a way to be free
You need to break away so

We can find the glass that has impaired us
Find the secrets through our pure lust
Take down everyone that gets in our way
Their lies no longer have a say
So close to these secrets kept hidden
Now the words will come unbidden
Take it and begin to open up
This scroll that's like any holy cup
Wake up realize I've gone nowhere
There's no true way to get out of here
Cells line down the hallway to contain me
Once was blind now I can see

Take it back I know what I mean
I see the desperate hands out
What I lack is some sort of spine
I need to find my dreams now
I can see the open sore now
It's so close but I can't close it
Why have you forsaken me here
Take me out of this indescribable hell
