Question Everything Lyrics - 8 Stops 7

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 

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 

I lost half my life to wisdom so forgive me if I 

Come off sounding bitter 

If my words push you away 

If I seem surprised to see you 

Lying here in front of me 

Just consider what you're asking 

And give me a little time 

I'm still having trouble breathing 

'Cause up to now I've never seen you cry 

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 

No son of mine, should I be sleeping 

No son of mine, as if you never understood 

That I don't need your help, don't have to save me from myself 

Or take me out to prove that I should live my life like you 

As I ask a simple question 

Cuts me off with his reply 

He's been practicing for decades 

But I am listening this time 

He flows in and out of riddles 

Stories change without the wine 

But at least he seems much clearer on 

how it feels to be my size 

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 

Ten years older and I've finally found my pride 

This old man comes rolling home to die 

Old feelings make it harder to see 

Just what it means to me 

What it means to me 

What it means to me 

What it means to me
