8stops7 question everything lyrics

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 



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

For in all these days

I've never seen you cry



[chorus]



"...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...



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]

Just what it means to me

Just what it means to me...
