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

Chorus:
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
