8 Stops 7 - Question Everything
INTRO
Verse
Ever since I was a child
You always said that I should understand the rules
You take some and give less
Sit high above the rest...don't you
As I ask a simple questioN Cuts me off with his reply
He's been practicing for decades Now he thinks I have the time
He flows in and out of riddles Looking me straight in the eye
But it seems like something's missing From the days when he was more my size
Chorus
Ten years older and I've finally found my pride
This old man comes rolling home to die
Old feelings make it hard to decide
Just what it means to me
Verse 2
Everything exists 'tween black and white
You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies
Or just offer up solutions Practiced only in your mind
I've lost half my life to wisdom So forgive me if I
come off sounding bitter If my words push you away
If I seem surprised to see you Lying here, in front of me
Just consider what you're asking And give me a little time
'Cause I'm still having trouble breathing Cuz up to now I've never seen you cry
Chorus
Ten years older and I've finally found my pride
This old man comes rolling home to die
Old feelings make it hard to decide
Just what it means to me
Breakdown
"...No son of mine..." Should I be sleeping?
"...No son of mine..." You never understood
That I don't need your help Don't have to save me from myself
Or take me out to prove That I should live my life like you...
Verse 3
As I ask a simple question Cuts me off with his reply
He's been practicing for decades But I am listening this time
He flows in and out of riddles Stories change without the wine
And at least he seems much clearer On how it feels to be my size
Chorus
Ten years older and I've finally found my pride
This old man comes rolling home to die
Old feelings make it hard to decide
Just what it means to me
Just what it means to me
Just what it means to me...
