lyrics

VERSE ONE

Baby face stay the same brain older wiser
Maintain the same lane chase soul desires
I put my family first and but push my goals up higher
And hold them tighter while entire culture polarises
Yeah, I’m still grieving my Dads loss, feeling I’m at odds
Slightly detached, aloof, stuck in a loop, confused, seen in the back drop
Of sheep and the crack pots, screaming in caps lock
Peep at the snap shot, D as a father figure
Half the world are mad, other half are bitter
Argue in your fit of rage, bicker for a fix
Like addicted to the kicks, of the digital abyss
If my ignorance is bliss, consciousness is depression
So I sit with discretion at a split intersection
That I drive through, find room to handle biz and improve
Standing with my plans which I champion like Grinspoon bro

CHORUS

Longer days shorter years it’s the standard I know
Faster pace disappear in the hours of growth
Lord knows what the hands of time will through our way
Lord knows I’m going to fill it every single day with
Family, Health, Art, Self, Goals
I’m living every second like it means something
Family, Health, Art, Self, Goals
The years are getting shorter but I keep trucking

VERSE TWO

I had to find so much strength that I turned brittle
Without the power to adapt son you’ve learned little
Flexibility’s key, communicate your ideas
Wear your heart on your sleeve, learn to break what you fear
Pushing tolerance and patience to the farthest reach
Relationships will need respect and it’s hard to keep
Trust is easily lost, anger boils from stress
Concentrate on your soul, fill the void in your chest
Find clarity in thought trust your gut instincts
And lead a horse to water even if it doesn’t drink
Show the way through the maze on a path that’s proven
People only ever change when they want to do it
Some will try, some will fail, life is strange, time is frail,
love is work, try prevail, no one knows what the weeks
Months or years might entail, so I roll with it
Holding it, in this fast lane no one’s slowing it

CHORUS
