lyrics

I’ve been beaten down by time.
Crushed by calendars. Tick tock tears.
I’ve been beaten down by time.
More specifically? Just last year.

Where oh where is paradise and
When oh where am I?

I’ve been tryna rise on up to glory.
Alighieri allegory.
I’ve been tryna rise on up to glory.
Life in Limbo. Twisted territory.
I been tryna rise on up to glory.
Leaving Virgil's dead ass in Purgatory.

Where oh where is paradise and
When oh where am I?

Time is coming for you baby.

I been tryna rise on up to glory.
I've seen the promised land. It’s kinda corny.
I'm just tryna tell a story.
Beatrice. Memento mori.
