I woke up in the morning
I take a trip to the corner store
that's when I heard my calling
but I never heard the voice the truth before
so I kept walking pretending I didn't see
walk by a window and my reflection said to me...
Chorus:
You can try all the same
but you'll never know this mystery
there's no pride on your plane
so you're not the man you used to be
try all the game
but you'll never know this mystery
when your plight has no plane
said you're not the man you used to be
Losing sight of what matters
then in my demeanour the brightness of the flatter
a tyson is the chatter of a room filled with candle
the place by fume that conclude with the mantra
im off to a flame when i couldnt hold a candle
to what I used to be
to what I used to handle
I used to be hungry yeah but tight for respect
and I just respect people want something from me
service at the table that revolved in my favor
designated savior guess I'm picking up the check
develop for a pilate for a rather bitter flavor
the fruits in my labor at the price it won't fetch
they cost me some friends
they cost me connect
for most men would as I probably should
but the men I know now ain't the men I recollect
Chorus:
You can try all the same
but you'll never know this mystery
there's no pride on your plane
so you're not the man you used to be
try all the game
but you'll never know this mystery
when your plight has no plane
said you're not the man you used to be
Searching for the elements I hire came together
I stumble on some blame I thought it to whatever
my disposition taking on I don't give a f*ck never was a few times
when the armour got severed the walls came down, the skin wasn't leathered
and if you want it hurt me the closer the better,
my foes were posing as a shoulder and when i went to lean on let me fall over
and those are the lessons that you learn when you older
it's harder to be burned but your heart's become colder
a bolder
but in return for your heart is stone its hard to let your guard down when the problem's gone
a soldier that keeps fighting when the war is done
forever ready for over more comes
yeah and I'm aiming at the mirror
I might end up shooting me
don't recognize the man that I used to be
who's he?
[Chorus:]
