Hello
Tonight
Yeah
There was a story of an old man, watching hard when he hit the gym
Looked around, found himself in the younger crowd
Acknowledged that it has come. The new world begins
The old one he knew slipped away
Lost touch like an old friend
Not due to the trouble, or feathers ruffled
Due to the fact life moved quick
He forgot to find him
He forgot to connect with kin
And how many years it has been
His old skills fade in relevance and his prized guitar falls out of tune
Makes up for the lost ground with a small act of benevolence
But he swears the world's the same
When he looks up sees the moon
Life spins 'round and 'round
Always told it would be better soon
That holiday meal so quiet
Relatives moved onto the next world, or rather be somewhere else
Grandkids ask for the Christmas cards sprinkled in with cash
In return he'll get a thank you call, ask about his cat
Not about what he made of the world
Or the stories that he stashed
He has all the skills to escape the world
But his sight has blurred by his pilot
Studying to renew his license
Clenching to independence
Signs change, the brush swallows the landmarks
In turn wiping his imprint
Of his signed name in the wood carved
He wrote while playing the cowboys and indians
In the summers that shined brightest
Where the prick of grass rubbed up against his clothes
In such a way that he smiled wondered if his mom would get mad
He looks down today at his knee
The blade of grass is bionic with pins keeping it intact
Heartbeat is irregular but he refuses to get fat
The world he learned hasn't quite given back
But to receive he must give
To receive he must give
So much grieving
It can't be expressed by a tattoo on his rib
He hopes the best parts of him are passed down to his kids
There's so much to say
There's so much to say
There's so much to say before his soul rests in his bed
Before the world labels him a burden
What's one more sip of bourbon
When the shows, the curtains
Can't tell family from nurses
Approaching what's certain
A new world is certain
The world we once knew
Indistinguishable from view
Even his work to bring his life peace
This whole life has turned into yield signs in these streets
They don't see him for what he was
They see what he's become to be
I thought I wanted a lie
I just wanted a new life
I think I think too much
Was living but not enough
Fake happy for the cameras
Fake hype and flake on every occasion, I'm your dandruff
I think it's a little too evident
I just wanted some relevance
Peace and love is all I ever meant
Mr. Sorry wasn't big enough
Mr. This is all it's ever been and all you'll ever get
With grace, Mr. Benevolent
I found love
And I stopped loving
Found God
And I stopped looking for one
Drink water, move smarter
Find love in love like you want it
Call your parents, call your family
What's the point of life and loving if you ain't going to share it
The farm turns into a subdivision
The subdivision to a suburb
Kids don't know where their friends live because the architecture is cookie cutter
Architecture cookie cutter
Architecture cookie cutter
I have to keep going
I have myself difficulty so I can earn peace
I have to give myself difficulty so I can earn peace
He earned peace
He earned peace
But what has he done to earn peace
A beautiful start, from world to heart
The beginning and end of a journey
