The Early Years

by Daystar

/
1.
You gotta know where you’re going You’ve got to run when it’s time You’ve got to know the weather’s blowing And when it’s time to drop a dime *That’s not something I wouldn’t say to you! You’ve got to play the game they’re playing You’ve got to know what’s on the line Before you trip the thing you’re weighing You’ve got to knw you’ll be just fine *That’s not something I wouldn’t say to you

Epithet 02:58
Please come back soon I don’t care what you wanna do Leave your silver spoon, take you tea in the afternoon And can you really leave it, leave it all behind Can you really believe it, is it worth the time? To Get Back Are you filled with regret Say my name like an epithet Do you move, do you sweat? Are you sure that you’re up for it? And can you really leave it, leave it all behind Can you really believe it, is it worth the time?
3.
When you’ve got a sinking feeling Something might be going on Something real but unrevealing It’s only love When it’s hard enough When you’ve had enough It’s only love When you’re out and double-dealing On the things you thought were tough Then you find your father kneeling ‘Cause he knows he’s not enough It’s only love When it’s hard enough When you’ve had enough Yeah you’ve had enough
4.
You’re quite a ways from your better days And you’re getting tired of singing to yoursl;ef A twisted gaze won’t get you made It’s twice as hard to fake your mental health Blame everyone for everything that you had is gone Pennies drop in a line Another day and you’re on your way You walked the line but stumbled now and then But bloody dirt and your torn up short Won’t bring you back the things you never had Blame everyone for everything that you had is gone Pennies drop in a line Picture this: A better life than spit and piss Is it worth your soul? Blame everyone for everything that you had is gone The fixes they had were twice as wrong Blame everyone for everything that you had is gone The fixes they had were twice as wrong Blame everyone for everything that you had is gone The fixes they had were twice as wrong

All in All 03:38
All you know is all you do It leaves you tired and black and blue *And you run and you hide but you’re still the same After all it’s up to you Keep it close and leave no clues Open eyes but nothing’s new *So you run and you hide but you’re still the same After all it’s up to you **All in all it’s all the same All in all a perfect game
