Linger On – Joey Burbs & Abstract

I’ve been moving on ’cause I know it was wrong but
Something keeps on pulling me back
Devil on my doorstep asks if I need more yet
Selling what was left in the past
All these lies I tell my mind just to keep a spark alive
Even though the moments gone I let it linger on

How did feeling your body turn into feelings that probably
Are gonna fill me til I’m in a new scene
You’re the white picket fence that I see in all of my dreams
But now the gates are closing quickly on me

She said “we got problems, but I know that we can make it work
You can dress me up and wear me out just like your favorite shirt”
Everyone around us think the sun is setting in the east
But I just watched it rise with my own eyes and see it differently

Darling, tell me when do these emotions fade
Darling, tell me are they meant to always stay

I’ve been moving on ’cause I know it was wrong but
Something keeps on pulling me back
Devil on my doorstep asks if I need more yet
Selling what was left in the past
All these lies I tell my mind just to keep a spark alive
Even though the moments gone I let it linger on

Linger on, mmm…
Linger on, mmm…

You play your love like casinos, I need that fix like a needle
Even though it’s toxic I’m addicted to the pain
You got this way with the way that you bring me down to my lowest
Then give me something just to keep me in your game
I play my cards, you own the house, no clock no doors I can’t get out
It’s like a weekend out in Vegas turned to prison, I found out
That you addicted to the friction you create through works of fiction
Keeping fools like me addicted, sickness in your heart no doubt
But I gotta go take control of what I tend to value
Love myself enough to live without you
Lingered on as long as I could take it
Broke the spell I’m breaking out your matrix
Young, well off and I’m famous
Quick way up how they paint us
What’s the real motive it get dangerous
Messing with the sexy young and brainless, damn

I’ve been moving on ’cause I know it was wrong but
Something keeps on pulling me back
Devil on my doorstep asks if I need more yet
Selling what was left in the past
All these lies I tell my mind just to keep a spark alive
Even though the moments gone I let it linger on

Linger on, mmm…
Linger on, mmm…
