kid nowadays:
Rome wasn't built in a day
You gotta climb a little higher, to the top of the display
Where there's a will, there's a way
You just gotta slit a throat or two to make the weak obey
Today, we mourn the loss of one of our own
But our commitment to the truth is as strong as ever
Remember, trust us with your news
If you want it, just take it
The world's yours, don't waste it
Go make the stars align, to shine brighter
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You'll be brighter, goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you)
Brighter
me and my mom on a gravel road:
My grand-pops was a man of respect, had to sweat
Just to cash checks, working from sunrise to set
Every day he'd get challenged, no trades or talents
Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance
The straight line and pace, feeling worn and gray
Poor with four seeds, one more on the way
It was hard days indeed, all work and no play
He made sure things on the surface were okay, but
Something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin'
A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night
It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition
Was urging him to listen to the train in the distance
At first, it wasn't intense, just one little instance
Sure, it didn't occur, he turned to resist it
As if it wasn't much more than just a figment
Of his imagination, but for days it was persistent
And it went
("Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me")
And it got louder
("Follow me, follow me I have something to show you")
With time people noticed he was actin' berserk
Granny got a call saying he was absent from work
And that was a first
She ran to the pastor at church
To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse
But bad went to worse
He came back three days after
No money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards
Stumbling, walked awkward, he called out for his daughter
Right before he split the last lesson he taught her was this
"If you ever have a son, let him know
That his granddad loves him, but by the time that he's grown
Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome
Don't ever, ever walk to the train tracks alone"
With that, he backed up, reached out for his jacket
Told her not to act up and cracked up laughin'
After all that happened, he left, never to be seen
15 years later is when my mother had me
Her dad lived a life people can't understand
Went from a family man to rambling man
