8 Stops 7 - Question Everything lyrics

Ever since I was a child You always said that I should understand the rules You take some and give less Sit high above the rest...don't you As I ask a simple question Cuts me off with his reply He's been practicing for decades Now he thinks I have the time He flows in and out of riddles Looking me straight in the eye But it seems like something's missing From the days when he was more my size [Chorus:] Ten years older and I've finally found my pride This old man comes rolling home to die Old feelings make it hard to decide Just what it means to me Everything exists 'tween black and white You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies Or just offer up solutions Practiced only in your mind
