[ Featuring Joey Harkum ]
Love over drama
Nugs over bottles
Dreams over settling
Scars over models
Lyrics over everything
My foot is on the throttle
We can get it in tonight
Work out the rest tomorrow
A wise man knows that there ain't no point wasting his time on things he can't control
A young man thinks aint a man alive that understands the burden he holds
So he drinks and he smokes and he curses at jesus
Swears that he'll thrive but thinks no one believes him
He'll feel alone making it through the unknown until he discovers we are all lost at sea
Lifes too short to play the victim, sometimes you're caught in the rain
Loves too sweet to suck on hate, it ain't easy but it's worth the pain
Humility is a vitamin that can shed your entitlement, so you can see that every days a god damn blessing
And it's never too late, I said it's never too late, I said it's never too late to live
Love over drama
Nugs over bottles
Dreams over settling
Scars over models
Lyrics over everything
My foot is on the throttle
We can get it in tonight
Work out the rest tomorrow
A proud man thinks he is strong enough
To shoulder the whole burden alone
An old man knows that it's family that turns a house into a home
So he loves unconditionally, looking past misery, fire never tires so he burns unrelentingly
The deck is stacked but he's immune to attacks because he's backed by all the love that he found
Life ain't fair and people suck
Disappointment is a taste you'll learn
Work with fire and test your luck
But ain't no one gonna outrun the burn
When you open your heart, become the sum of the parts, the world around becomes a little less cold
And the night is still dark
And you're surrounded by sharks
Family always guides you home
Joey Harkum
It all started with a big idea
To try and find a little purpose here
This life gave me no choice
I had nothing else
So I found my voice
I sang aloud till there was no doubt
I shed my pain when the truth came out
Now it seems so arbitrary
The weight of failure is hard to carry
Keep pushing till you get your turn
Every step back is a lesson learned
When all you ever known is violence
I'm gonna get what I deserve
We ain't dead yet f*ck what you heard
We built up more passion
In never unraveling
Giving love instead of
Embracing sadness
And I can't believe I made it back out again
Reincarnation is actually happening"
