[ Featuring the Moose Men ]
Cold feet, no heat; I'm just dry
How am I the only guy who's walkin' asleep?
"What to wear to this fest?" I asked and I guessed
Then my mama came in to settle this mess
"Dress to finesse, much impress, then witness, how everybody looks at ya; ingressed!"
Like a skimmer, just thinner
Not for singin', but fittin' at dinner
A suit and tie, a gleaming eye, no lie
We're off to the party of the dark sky
Where the beat is bombarded
That pulse in me, unguarded
What I feel as I'm outsmarted
Because the movement is fluid, the dance is lucid
"Let's get down to it stupid!"
Pulled to the floor, an open door
I can't stop, I just want more, much galore
The die was cast, completely unabashed
Will you die with me at last?
Never finished; sadly diminished
Left behind, the past is what they say
Still, remind; so fast it all went away
So now I ask you, tuning in, too
I come back to the home that I outgrew
And after all that I knew: what we said was forever?
Well, it's over, or at least starting lose tether
I'm still just a kid, but you're talking about weather!
Whether or not it'll rain or shine?
Nickel and dime, hell no!
Stop Sign!
Whatcha all doin' with your growin' up?
Man I haven't even ceased my turnin' up
21 and I feel like I'm burnin' up
All the hopes and dreams that I've given up
I finally caught up in time for it all to stop
So now you're gettin' married, and you've got a baby?
Yeah well, I'm still here just tellin' this girl maybe
Wake up each mornin, go to work
Come home, load a bowl, can't hurt
Yeah, maybe we can get together next Friday?
Well shit, why are we even tryin' anyway?
Half the time we just call for a raincheck
The other half, we can't figure out what to do anyway
What the heck!
What happened to all those all-nighters?
Yellin' and slurrin' while someone rustles the fire
Back when we didn't have to care about the world
We only had to focus on tryin' not to hurl
But now we've got all these f*ckin' responsibilities
Did we run out of time?
Cause I'm just full of humilities,
For all the chances and opportunities I missed
I'm dissed, f*ck this man, I'm pissed
F*ck...man
Well, here we are
I'm 21 and maybe over
All my thoughts and feelin's
Keeping me aging and hungover
Time and time again
I feel like we've hit all the dead ends
I've got some place to go
But no where to live
I'm all drained out
And I'm losing things to give
But you know what?
Maybe it's not all that bad
Maybe I'm just sad and confused
Sad to let go of what I knew
Confused of which path I should now pursue
But it's not that I'm alone!
You're all still here, and I'm just full of fear
That maybe I'm getting left behind
I'm blind; there's more to life!
I was just hurt, and I fell
The drinks and amenities, well
There's only so much to that hell
So now I'm standin' up
I got a job; a place to live
Who knows, maybe I can forgive?
To grow is to learn, and to learn is to live
