Lyrics The Road - Lazy Habits

The Road

First burst on this earth may 21st
Coughing like a hearse at his birth
Kevin thought he was cursed
First words that he heard
Father turned to the nurse
She said «what's it all worth if we’re hurting him worse»
But life doesn’t always work out like it’s s’posed to
LIke bread doesn’t pop when you watch the toaster
Used to say he’d be a star supernova
Running round school with a super-soaker
Head full of cotton wool never learned a lot at school
Pocket full of holes and a belly full of rocket fuel
But he never missed a shot of pool
So he thought he had a shot at keeping his pockets full
While I played hip-hop, Kevin learned trick-shots
Heard he got rushed outside of a chip shop
Years later saw him at one of our shows and that’s about the path he chose
There’s a road
There’s a path you have to follow
Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow
It’s just that fear that keeps you here
It’s just the sum of these misspent years
Thomas showed promise from the day he first dropped in
An honest lad thrown away at four from the promised land
Where he learned more than the gift of gab
He learned to chirps and chat Spanish see and that’s speaking modestly
Tom was an oddity, mind lost in the aether
Brightest of the sparks, lazy, baffled all his teachers
Only watched the trailers, got bored with the features
Used to hang his teeth but got collared in the preacher
Now following this rhyme like timelines
We descend on two scenes two separate lives
The result of two dreams with stars in their eyes
But one went blind but the other he saw sight
But which one is which
Shit it’s hard to find
Just remember that you can’t rewind
And you reap what you sow in kind
There’s a road
There’s a path you have to follow
Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow
It’s just that fear that keeps you here
It’s just the sum of these misspent years
There’s a road
See there’s a path you have to follow
Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow
It’s just that fear that keeps you here
It’s just the sum of these misspent years
There’s a road
There’s a path you have to follow
Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow
It’s just that fear that keeps you here
It’s just the sum of these misspent years
See there’s a road
There’s a path you have to follow
Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow
It’s just that fear that keeps you here
It’s just the sum of these misspent years
