lyrics

Man finds God and he probably kills it
The hole goes away once you finally fill it.
6 feet deep is a whole lotta dirt
Good grass grows but it takes some work
So diagnose me with another excuse
I'll find a new substance for me to abuse
Try to unwind and some screws came loose
I'm a real fixer upper, but what's my use
Coming of age and I'm coming undone.
Taking all bets how the west was won
Whole lotta men with their smoking guns
You can walk away but you're on the run
Damned if you do, damned if ya don't
Give the best of myself to the worst of folks
Breath of fresh air gonna make ya choke
Frogs gotta leap before he croaks
Larger than life never seemed so big
Magic is tragic if you see how it's rigged
Time flies by but it don't heal quick
The scars make it hard if you wanna forget

(Chorus): Its new to me but an old cliche, been done before but in a different way. Road less traveled still gets paved. We're all unique but we're all the same to me


Middle men make the most is seems
With a lot less work and a lot more ease
Rat gets trapped when he looks for cheese
But the cat gets treats at the masters feet
Lose the leash let the thoughts run wild
A defiant lion to a newborn child
Create destroy become beguile
You gotta be the camel every once and awhile
All the grown men gotta talk their shit
Bout the glory days and the things they did
They tell tall tales they're just tiny little men.
You're never good enough, you're not as tough as them
So kill your heros, but don't damn the dead
Learn a little lesson from the lives they led
Worlds on your shoulders it goes to your head
The body of christ turns to real bad bread
Played too much and put my life on pause
Now I'ma take charge but I ain't the boss
Forward forward on we march!
Because progress made is some baggage lost

Chorus
