Without You
Hook:
I once used to dream of the spotlight
Moonstruck on late nights
Choose what to make life
But now I see machines under stage lights
Marooned in a fake life
Oooh, now I pray like
Comfort I find, covered in blood of your side
Not in the ladders I’ve climbed
I don’t want none of the glamour, the glory, the riches
Cheering and clamor, the claps and the whistles
It’s all irrelevant without you
I-I couldn’t ever live without you
(Comfort I find) covered in blood of your side
Covered of blood your side, yeah
Verse 1:
Everybody want clothes; everybody want shoes
Everybody want cars; smoke one up while they cruise
Everybody want money; hit the club wit their crew
Everybody want love, but settle for one night with no rules, I…
I wanted to be rich and famous
But celebrities looking so aimless
We lost Robin and Cobain, and face it
You can make it while missing the basics
I don’t want my life to be wasted on me
It’d be like writing a song with no rhythm or tone
I know without you fame is so weak; I need you
Hook
Verse 2 (Brandon Mitchell):
Yeah, I remember them days of famine
When I wanted the world at my feet, fanning
Saying, "I see Brandon standing on a mountain
Make it rain on me; he’s a fountain"
Then I got a piece of the lights and fame
Had people in Greece retweeting my name
Leading me into a different game
Committing fouls and causing shame
Yeah, I was bitten by Luci’s fangs
Producing all kind of sorts of pain
Like hydro acid moving through my veins
Then I went to my knees and screamed the name of the King
He was right there to save me from death
It’s because of His grace I sing
Yall can have the waves, I’m on the beach
I was once a slave, now I’m free
Hook
Bridge:
It doesn’t matter what you gain
A soul is never worth the fame
I’ll never dream so low again, again
If you look for fame, you might get the fame
But what remains when it looks away
You reach for Mars, I reach for stars
A million lightyears from your chicks and cars, ha
My life is in the hands of One who reigns
That’s why I’ll never dream so low again
Hook
