High Road (feat. Gion Ra)

Track 4 - The Danger Contradiction EP


First off, let me apologize for the scattered and inconsistent schedule. A few obstacles came in the way of this project along the way, and Miss Danger and I weren't able to get together as often as we initially intended. With that being said, "High Road" (featuring Gion Ra, a dope artist I've known for a long time), will be the last release from The Danger Contradiction before it gets put on hiatus. Next week I'll be going back to my semi-weekly release with the Monthly Quarterly, Volume 2! Stay tuned my peoples. 


Being in a relationship takes work, and for the most part, breakups are inevitable. Some people try to get back together after the fact, but unless the breakup was a huge misunderstanding, it probably won't last.

Sometimes it isn't even due to a lack of love, some people just aren't meant to be together. It's tough to accept that fact sometimes, and if you contest it you only end up making it harder for the other person and yourself. High Road or low road, it doesn't matter, you're going to crash either way.

Lyrics


You could say I took the high road, I guess.
I accepted the situation with a smile no less.
I was even asked to not make it harder than it had to be.
Doused in gasoline, on fire, and then asked politely not to scream.
I thought sure; I guess I can do that. Priorities just don’t match. thought only of negatives, that way
I’d never want to go back, least until opinion is fact, so when I hear about how we weren’t good together, I’ll believe that.        
It wasn’t a lack of love that did us in however, 
and knowing we can never be together doesn’t make me feel better.
And even in sunny weather, I can’t help but feel a shiver. Feeling withered cause now I’m only consuming shit that hurts my liver.
It seems to me that we were just a glitch; something that should’ve never happened, though somehow it did.
Had to burn the photos of us, and the film that held the rest.
Cause even the negatives are picturesque.

You did me wrong. I should've taken that high road all along.
And it first it seemed so calm. Don't you know we're destined for a storm? 

Yeah, I know what you mean, man.
Had a girl that Made you feel like a real champ.
But you can’t go on the affirmation, that her comfort and warmth will outweigh the situation.

It’s easy to begin a relationship and not completely know what it takes to be in it.
The low road; you’ve got to go it alone.
But on the last leg, the race will be the reward.
And if you don’t, the weeds will overgrow, and that one patch of path can trap when nature takes it back.

So, what’s it gonna be Author?
High road, or low road? Struggle or torture?
‘Cause simple and cozy won’t do nothing for you.

You gotta follow your heart. Boy, take it from me.
