Track 2 from the Heiruspecs collection 'theskyisfalling'

I don't need the hype man, just give me life
I don't want a bite. I want the whole damned slice
Got me some advice. Keep your circle tight
Cause the whispers in your ear tell you Wrong or right ----
Everyone I ever hated I had love for too
What you do defines you
So they say to stay true
Stay you and let them do what them do.
Never worry your head with how they feel in them mental. ----
My pencil to the nub and my eraser gone
Replaced pain with song
So many times I go long?
How many times we throw strong after the questions came.
This is why people say that life's a game. ----
If we tame every lion then the jungle is ours.
But the victory is sour because they're just cats
If we conquer every frontier and know every secret
Then horizons stop calling
Just a stupid map. ----

It's a game, it's a race.
Every face every place.
Every one I know
Every year I've grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood sweat and tears
Every thing I know
What I've got to show.

And that there's a shame. My son tought me wonder
Tought me how dependent we all are on each other
Showed me that the pressure we assume could break bars
Just exposes the rust so we can heal our scars ----
Bars.
Motivated by the weekend
And dedicated to the moment
Please show me my opponent.
Please tell me there's a limit
Im'a set new goals
I'm a show that my stripes are made of gold. ----
So.
I was a kid on my bike racing down the sidewalk
Now I'm grown and I'm supposed to keep that sidewalk clear
Moved my mom out my childhood home, cause that's life
Walk away, but always keep the memories you hold dear ----

It's a game, it's a race.
Every face every place.
Every one I know
Every year I've grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood sweat and tears
Every thing I know
What I've got to show.

Lay it bare like a brick.
Pour that mortar on thick

That's life
Them's the breaks
That might be the meaning
For sure those or things that define all your leaning
For the beating of the drums and the fog of war
These are things that really tell us what we're here for. ----
If I huff and puff and blow the house down
Then the silly pigs didn't do a good job
Wood and straw from all the people that just haven't figured out
Get it out
It's not about covering every flaw. ----

It's a game, it's a race.
Every face every place.
Every one I know
Every year I've grown
We can tally all the years
With the blood sweat and tears
Every thing I know
What I've got to show.
