Airplanes Part I

HOOK: [ SKYLAR GREY ]

VERSE 01:
Yeah ok, let's pretend like it's '04
Like I'm eatin lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Tryin to fit in with the popular coming out the Ghetto
Hoping for a friend to deal with my pain
Now, let's pretend like i'm in a game
And when I score everybody goes insane
Okay, and everyone knows my name (Breon)
And everywhere I go people want me to swing
Oh yeah, and I just left my hometown
I feel like I'm homesick
Heaven in the spring, hell in the fall
And then fuckers sayin shit to top it all off
And let's say I was the greatest
Making people think I'm one of the latest
And everybody loved me and no ever doubted
Let's try to use imagination

VERSE 02:
Okay, let's pretend like it never happened
Never had dreams of being the captin
Never did practice in all my classes
Never used to run away from all this blackness
Let's pretend like I was all good
I never lived starin at where I stood
Never did the things that I probably knew I could
But I ain't have friends, that's somethin I never understood
Yo, now let's pretend like I forgot my name
Before I ever stood up from this shame
I'm talking back before the good times
Before the love and the killer I restrain
Before they ever compared me to that name
Before I wasn't the one to blame
Before anyone ever cared about my face
So let's just pretend, and make these nightmares out of airplanes

VERSE 03:
Let's pretend Breon Prince never listened again
Let's pretend I would of been no different
Pretend like I didn't care, had no motivation
Pretend like he didn't have no inspiration
Could of ripped out my heart and threw it away in his creation
Makes no sense to play this game, crawl up in a ball with a whole bunch of shame
Pretend like I just stayed outside all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a real friend to say was his friend
And he didn't hate school and was happy all the time
He wasn't socially awkward and strange as a kid
He had his mother and father together
And there relationship wasn't fucked up and shit
Fuck the game and all it has to give
“You won't amount to shit, keep daydreaming kid
You might need your cranium checked
You're thinkin like an alien, it just ain't realistic”
And pretend like there was no one who could make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he is pissed at
And his alarm went off for practice but It didn't wake him
Slept through it and it didn't wake him
He's gon' have a hard time explainin to his family
These excuses and shit if gives to them
Cause I ain't never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But this is all some stupid shit so he even here, he pretends that
