For those golden gates
Well I wasn't given a key
But I'm content to sit outside
And panhandle for entry.
Don't you wear that robe brother
Don't you cast an eye
'Cause when you sink to the bottom of the barrel
You have to drink yourself out or die
Don't you cross my path, honey,
Don't you wear my name
It's probably for all the better
If you went along your merry way
All I'm asking of you friend
Is that you give me my proper due
And if I'm not paying attention
Then you'll nudge me when it's my cue
Sometimes,
Life comes at you fast
And you don't have time
To put your hands up
Sometimes
Life comes as a surprise
And it ain't
Always a healthy one.
I wish it were as simple as
Turning it all up loud
But as you can see I've grown older
And am less likely to impress a crowd
It's not these looks I'm worried 'bout
But I might as well
Smash up every mirror
And take my fucking seven years in hell
Your body screams for rest
And you barely feel alive
Well what is it your business
Feeling this tired at 25?
So concentrate
All your heroes can
And it ain't a product of mental imbalance
But all the bullshit valued by this land.
Sometimes
Life comes at you fast
And you don't have time
To get your hands up
Sometimes
Life comes as a surprise
And it ain't
Always a healthy one
Sometimes
Life gives you the sides
And other times your stuck on stage
With nothing memorized.
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Well I wasn't given a key
But I'm content to sit outside
And panhandle for entry.
Don't you wear that robe brother
Don't you cast an eye
'Cause when you sink to the bottom of the barrel
You have to drink yourself out or die
Don't you cross my path, honey,
Don't you wear my name
It's probably for all the better
If you went along your merry way
All I'm asking of you friend
Is that you give me my proper due
And if I'm not paying attention
Then you'll nudge me when it's my cue
Sometimes,
Life comes at you fast
And you don't have time
To put your hands up
Sometimes
Life comes as a surprise
And it ain't
Always a healthy one.
I wish it were as simple as
Turning it all up loud
But as you can see I've grown older
And am less likely to impress a crowd
It's not these looks I'm worried 'bout
But I might as well
Smash up every mirror
And take my fucking seven years in hell
Your body screams for rest
And you barely feel alive
Well what is it your business
Feeling this tired at 25?
So concentrate
All your heroes can
And it ain't a product of mental imbalance
But all the bullshit valued by this land.
Sometimes
Life comes at you fast
And you don't have time
To get your hands up
Sometimes
Life comes as a surprise
And it ain't
Always a healthy one
Sometimes
Life gives you the sides
And other times your stuck on stage
With nothing memorized.
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
Go on and damn my name
