solid

[verse]
Yo, the sun sets on the coastline but the town's still dim
Another ghost walks Marine Ave, life on a whim
They ain't livin', they're just twitchin', existin' in a haze
Lost in these pathetic, synthetic, never-endin' days
This whole damn place is a rumor mill, a factory of lies
You see the desperation and the dope smoke in their eyes
Your best friend's your worst fiend, a klepto-maniac
He'll steal the watch off your wrist then help you look for it back
Heard your girl's doin' dirty, heard your boy's a snitch
Heard it from some tweaker who's sleepin' in a ditch
But he swears on his life, his word is solid oak
'Til he sells your trust for a twenty and a toke
They smile in your face, "What's up, bro? How you been?"
Then they're in your damn shed when you ain't let 'em in
This ain't a community, it's a crab-in-a-bucket act
Everyone pullin' each other down, and that's a fact.
​[Chorus]
Y'all ain't solid, you're made of glass
Just a cheap reflection, a shadow you cast
Talkin' that trash, movin' too fast
In this P-Town circus, how long can you last?
Y'all ain't solid, you're hollow and fake
For a ten dollar bill, how much soul can you take?
I see the lies in the smile and the tremor in the handshake
Y'all ain't solid, you're destined to break.
​[Verse]
This ain't just weed smoke, nah, the air's turnin' toxic
Every other gee biok is pushin' somethin' catastrophic
Sellin' bags of that down that'll make your damn heart stop, it's
A messed up paradox, this narcotic-fueled psychotic
Cycle of death, another post on Facebook
"He had a heart of gold," while the family ain't look
At the blue lips and the truth, the life that it really took
Sirens are the town's anthem, the whole damn city's shook
But these heads run around with this fake-ass hard act
Like they ain't one hit away from a damn cardiac
Twitchin' and they're schemin', but they swear they got it under control
You ain't a kingpin, you're a puppet who just sold his soul
Screamin' at a shadow, paranoid, your mind is gone
But you puff your chest out on the street like nothin's wrong
You ain't hard, you're haunted, a ghost in your own skin
Just another casualty in this war you can't win.
​[Chorus]
Y'all ain't solid, you're made of glass
Just a cheap reflection, a shadow you cast
Talkin' that trash, movin' too fast
In this P-Town circus, how long can you last?
Y'all ain't solid, you're hollow and fake
For a ten dollar bill, how much soul can you take?
I see the lies in the smile and the tremor in the handshake
Y'all ain't solid, you're destined to break.
​[Verse]
So let rumors fly, let the vultures circle 'round
I'm busy buildin' somethin' real on this unstable ground
While you're burnin' your connections, I'm just sharpenin' my pen
You can have this broken town, I'll take the world, and then?
I won't forget the faces, the whispers, and the dirt
The phony handshakes given right before you lift the shirt
Off a so-called friend, man, it's pathetic and it's sad
You're a carbon copy of a copy of your d
