hollow faces - james shannon lyrics

[chorus]
how many real ones you got with you?
how many real ones you talkin to?
how many real ones you got with you?
how many?

[verse 1]
uh, i’m a man who’s seen obstacles in cycles of life
the different phases of my youth opened my eyes to what’s right
between the souths, rural darkness and my city at night
north suburban social order yo to grow is the fight
alright, okay, i’m tryna dig me a passage
i’m like an animal that’s hunted but my will isn’t massive
i could just say that i’m drained and just give up like the masses
of kids raised by a system with no care for the average
man i’m f*cking stressing i’ve got problems in bulk
but i rarely ever show it keep my head up don’t sulk
been criticized for my way of dealing with the result
of being kicked and overlooked before i was an adult
my older days culture shocked me opportunities ripe
and not for me or my circle but for the people in sight
see you could say i left behind all of the people alike
but we’re all in this for something and for me it’s to fly
alright

[chorus]
how many real ones you got with you?
how many real ones you talkin to?
how many real ones you got with you?
how many? (x2)
[verse 2]
i talk to people everyday who tell me life is a mystery
maybe i should stop looking for the answer in history
answer this for me, would you even miss or have tears for me
on the day of my obituary i need to see differently
uh, ayo enough about me
my cynicism is construed as something normal you see
but normally, i would give you words of comfort for free
but then again the world is testing what that comfort could be
and i’ve been settled with the future being bright but oh no
the other hand comes and throws its evil grip on my throat
its five fingers represent the worst things i could’ve known
and i know, that grief is something i can’t deal with alone
i look around me and i see gazes of hate
ayo the eyes of the snake, the deepest coldest of lakes
so to make, it out of this place for my sanities sake
i will take it to this race as one i’m never to break
okay

[chorus]
how many real ones you got with you?
how many real ones you talkin to?
how many real ones you got with you?
how many?

[interlude]
ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye
and as the clouds in the sky, disperse and float by
i’m wondering why i stay stuck in my mind
the things that i think, never reach to the brink
of the line from what’s real to what’s lies
in humble disguise i’m wondering why
what is bright is not in my life
and in the midst of the mad, i’m still very glad
that my reach isn’t far from sunrise
it’s lies

[chorus]
how many real ones you got with you?
how many real ones you talkin to?
how many real ones you got with you?
how many?

[verse 3]
uh, uh
i’ve seen the evil in the nicest traits of people
and that’s not coming from a place of spite it’s my cerebral
like the pain that speaks from where i seek a mind that’s peaceful
and i sequel what i said for i don’t equal what’s deceitful
deceit is in the trauma that i tirelessly battle
handling my own should not be demons that i grapple
the man that takes the apple feeds the mouth that done the hassle
so i tackle inhibition take my own release the shackles
trap me in this box and i will box out, you can’t contain me
i’m going crazy everyone around me seems so shady
and times are changing but just maybe we can stop it fading
and i’m still waiting for the light to shine and stop escaping
and stop the rubble falling on me from my destination
i climb with patience a tenacious grip on what i’m chasing
a daily basis in oasis between different places
and when i’m hit it’s back to basics you can’t break my basis
i live in circles on the surface it’s just hollow faces
[outro]
and f*ck the fakeness

yeah, and f*ck the fakeness
