lyrics

The drama has to play out it’s part of the script
If you try to get around it, it wouldn’t make sense
A lot of writers try to edit but their story’s untold
Because you can’t have a script where no drama unfolds

Don’t be confusing this statement
As an excuse for causing chaos that’s not what I’m saying
The world is full of fucked up stuff
We don’t need your contribution there’s plenty enough

How many situations a day
Where someone becomes a victim and nobody’s to blame
And you can let it mess with your brain
Just don’t let it take you over have you sitting in pain

When I talk about the drama what I’m really trying to say
Is you should let the feelings come, but keep them at bay
Be at the Cause not Effect, take a pause don’t eject
There’s a way you can embrace them you don’t have to reject

Be at the Cause not Effect
Take a pause don’t eject
Be at the Cause not Effect
There’s a way you can embrace it you don’t have to reject

Be at the Cause not Effect
Take a pause don’t eject
Be at the Cause not Effect
There’s a way you can embrace it you don’t have to reject

Life is short but it’s long if you know how to use it
So many of you love to abuse it
And that’s including myself
I’ve pissed away entire days over somebody else

It felt legit at the time
Cause the drama’s intoxicating it makes you feel alive
But it’s superficial and lies
And when it all goes away you’re left feeling deprived

You have to run a check dude
The drama has to play out but it mustn’t need affect you
Keep in mind what you expect too
The quality of your thoughts can hinder, help, or wreck you

Check the script and revise it
Keep the drama in but don’t be the one who writes it
Let it run its course while you direct along the way
So that your life becomes a movie bout desire not pain
