Question Everything - 8STOPS7

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 mind

I lost half my life to wisdom
