Promiseland Lyrics

Welcome to the Promiseland

Like Neverland with Peter Pan

But people pop prescription pills

More strung out than a mandolin

It's somber like a violin

They swinging like a pendulum

And this is the promise that they don't tell bout what's yet to come

In this land you don't stay young

You grow old fast or you get passed along

All that magic is up and gone

Gotta take that stay headstrong

There's a different kind of pixie dust to lift you up if you need a rush

And though you know this life is not too glamorous you live it up

Welcome to the Promiseland

Like Neverland with Peter Pan

But in this land Captain Hook is not the villain

He's the man tryna make it by

Stealing what he gotta so he can chase that high

Crocodile tears on his face but he don't sympathize

He tells another lie to himself so he can dry those eyes

He didn't seek this land out

It snuck up on him sunk his ship another man down

And now he's in the Promiseland

Like Neverland but there's no Peter Pan

Only harsh stares long nights cold air

People on the outside they don't wanna go there

It's lonely in this place

Nobody on his side even his shadow ran away

Unattached and he's wanting it back

Stuck on the ground and it's driving him mad

There's a different kind of pixie dust to lift you up if you need a rush

And though you know this life is not too glamorous you live it up

Welcome to the Promiseland

Like Neverland with Peter Pan

But in this land Captain Hook is not the villain

He's the man tryna make it by

Stealing what he gotta so he can chase that high

Crocodile tears on his face but he don't sympathize

He tells another lie to himself so he can dry those eyes

He didn't seek this land out

It snuck up on him sunk his ship another man down

And so this is the Promiseland

Like Neverland but there's no Peter Pan

Only lost boys

In a big world

With no way out

And no way forward

Searching for themselves

They could use a little help

They didn't wanna come here but now this is where they dwell

Just because they fell doesn't mean they can't get well

Looking for a way out

Cause they're stuck inside this hell of the Promiseland

Like Neverland with Peter Pan

But in this land everybody on a mission

Everyone tryna make it by

Doing what they gotta so they can survive

How they try to better their lives but in Promiseland

It isn't easy

If it were this whole place would have empty beaches

They didn't seek this land out

It snuck up on em sunk their ship another man down

It snuck up on em sunk their ship another man down

It snuck up on em sunk their ship another man down
