LYRICS:
I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls
Woke up driving towards a tunnel that was painted on the wall
It all seems like a living hell, I'd rather not get involved
I know stories you can't tell, people you can't call
Cause they're long gone

I made my own treasure map outta chicken scratch on my notepad
I'm long gone
And if I crash, and if I crash it's with my feet on the dash
I'll drink to that and then I'm long gone

Since my dad was singing Get Back
I caught that rhythm with that inner city jet lag
Accept the mission like I've risen from the riff-raff
I pawned Excalibur, this caliber is unmatched; I'm Captain Kirk on a life raft
If I got two cents and a soapbox
I'm glowing up, lay in the grove, watch the globe trot
Then go cop some garden gnomes for the grow-op
Grow up, I can't, why not, who cares, you right
Got records on the stove top, couch in the kitchen
Whole squad in the rocket, come get down with the linchpin
One hand roll gorilla glue, one hand solve a Rubik's Cube
The other twenty-two improving ways to break the news to you
I came out the cocoon to show y'all a monarch
I came out the cocoon to show y'all a monarch
And I could change your horoscope, just holler at me
I'll be saying action, making a smash-hit outta trash heap
(What did he just say?)

I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls
Woke up driving towards a tunnel that was painted on the wall
It all seems like a living hell, I'd rather not get involved
I know stories you can't tell, people you can't call
Cause they're long gone

I made my own treasure map outta chicken scratch on my notepad
I'm long gone
And if I crash, and if I crash it's with my feet on the dash
I'll drink to that and then I'm long gone

I'm riding the trolley for probably the thousandth time
With a backpack, a patched jacket, a lack of cash, and a clouded mind
But I don't care, I just I hope I do somewhere down the line
It's crazy when your dudes, the youth, and the truth start to sound alike
Mountains might as well get to moving soon as I throw that groove in
And get these goons used to losing, it's like Confucius signed to Ruthless
All these tunes I go doofus with a screw loose and doob lit til it's deuces
I'm high as the moon is like Houston we got a problem
Soon as I walk in the building
Order a hit let's make a killing and keep it between villains
Y'all know the feeling, like I hustle but I'm still just chilling
I'd put it all on the line just for the sense of fulfillment
I go one to a million real quick
I'm on acid and a pull-out mattress trying to figure out what life is
Make empires fall right after they do silent
My only brothers were pirates, one-man riots, and three rivers' finest

I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls
Woke up driving towards a tunnel that was painted on the wall
It all seems like a living hell, I'd rather not get involved
I know stories you can't tell, people you can't call
Cause they're long gone

I made my own treasure map outta chicken scratch on my notepad
I'm long gone
And if I crash, and if I crash it's with my feet on the dash
I'll drink to that and then I'm long gone

I lost count of the days where my bed felt like my grave
I don't know the last time I ate, but I'm straight, I just bought an eighth
I strayed away from a-okay, hey that's a-okay
My train of thought is just another spot to paint, I got it made

I lost count of the days where my bed felt like my grave
I don't know the last time I ate, but I'm straight, I just bought an eighth
I strayed away from a-okay, hey that's a-okay
My train of thought is just another spot to paint, I got it made

I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls again
I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls again
I fell asleep watching Gravity Falls again
I fell asleep watching...
