lyrics

it don't matter if he likes it the way it is
always falls upon the shoulders he calls his
spread too thin, holding his whole world up
heart tells head, but the man don't listen none

damn, sit down son
go and put your feet up now
have a drink,
and forget about what makes you feel old
every day's just a setting sun
with doors closing in your face
while another one is opening

there is no place
no time like now
i've lost my taste
i can't describe
flavor is gone
chewing gum i find stuck to my boot..
it's like inside my head
my space-
the cloudiest days

couldn't quite make a little dent, but looks a wreck
big dreams of having wings but dreads leaving the nest
scared to jump, cuz nothing's there to break the fall
but he's gotta make his move cuz his tree's fucked. roots and all

it would seem like he can call all his own shots
but he always struggles to carve himself a spot
laid every brick, but the tower's tumbling down
heart told the head, but the man's deaf to its sound
