Lyrics Years - Heiruspecs

Years

I don’t need the hype man, just give me the life
I don’t want a bite, I want the whole damned slice
Got me some advice, they said keep your circle tight
'Cause the whispers in your ear will tell you wrong or right
Everyone I ever hated I had love for too
What you do defines you
So they say to stay true
Stay you and let them do what them do
Never worry your head with how they feel in them mental
My pencil to the nub, my eraser gone
Replaced pain with song
How many times I go long
And times we throw strong after questions came?
This is why people say that life’s a game
If we tame every lion then the jungle is ours
But the victory is sour because they’re just cats
If we conquer every frontier and know every secret
Horizons stop calling
It’s just a stupid map
It’s a game, it’s a race
Every face every place
Every one I know
Every year I’ve grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood, sweat, and tears
Everything I know
What I’ve got to show
And that there’s a shame, my son tought me wonder
Tought me how dependent we all are on each other
Showed me that the pressure we assume could break pipes
Just exposes the rust so we can heal our scars
Bars
Motivated by the weekend
And dedicated to the moment
Please show me my opponent
Please tell me there’s a limit
I’ma set new goals
I’ma show that my stripes are made of gold
And so as a kid on my bike racing down the sidewalk
Now I’m grown, I’m supposed to keep that sidewalk clear
Moved my mom out my childhood home, 'cause that’s life
Walk away, but always keep the memories you hold dear
It’s a game, it’s a race
Every face every place
Every one I know
Every year I’ve grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood, sweat, and tears
Everything I know
What I’ve got to show
Lay it bare like a brick
Pour that mortar on thick
That’s life
Them’s the breaks
That might be the meaning
For sure those are the things that define all your leanings
For the beating of the drums and the fog of war
These are things that really tell us what we’re here for
If I huff and puff and blow the house down
Then them silly pigs didn’t do a good job
Wood and straw from all the people that just haven’t figured out
Get it out, it’s not about covering every flaw
It’s a game, it’s a race
Every face every place
Every one I know
Every year I’ve grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood, sweat, and tears
Everything I know
What I’ve got to show
