Lyrics 23 - Young Idols

Twenty-three years inside this vessel
How time passes by, man I'm so forgetful
The time I've been alive has been somethin' special
In every single way, in every single way
At least I'd like to say, when it's all said and done
Cause lately I've been thinkin' bout the people that've gone
Lately its been harder just stayin' standin' strong
Righting every wrong, I do it on my own
Drinkin' every shot and the poison be Patron
Straight to the dome, won't be here very long
Frantic with my thoughts, like I've been on the run
Anxiety a bitch, variety I switch
Up on a whim, when I need a new pace
Ambition is the key, call it my saving grace
Been through a lot, never see it on my face
Nothin' stays the same
Everything's a game
Wish what I had could keep me sound & sane
My greedy ass, wants the money and the fame
Lose what I have, who else is there to blame
More than a fad, I can feel it in my veins
Learned from my dad, generational pain
Heart split in half, think I even lost my name
Banner half mast, cause others feel the same
Do I feel sad, only if it's done in vein

Twenty-three years inside this vessel
How time passes by, man I'm so forgetful
The time I've been alive has been somethin' special
In every single way, in every single way
Even for the ones that were the darkest day
Demons of the past, with the vices I slay
Scared for my life, when I gamble every day
Zooted, on a flight, makes it all go away
Just how long 'til I'm forced to confront
The things that don't disappear with a blunt
The things that make me keep my distance
Baggage like this, gets to be a nuisance
It's my hope, I can conquer in the future
Wounds of the past, fix 'em somethin' like a suture
Just takes time, and the strive for me to nurture
But I'd be lyin', if at times it wasn't torture
Could've end it all, a few times in my life
Thoughts of my momma, what kept me to the light
Talk about it now, and it doesn't seem right
Hopefully it helps somebody with their fight
Cause not everybody gets that second chance
Words for the minds out seeking guidance
At many times that really was me
Hopefully these words helps you reach twenty-three

Twenty-three years and I can see the changes
Twenty-three years and I can see the changes
Twenty-three years and I
Twenty-three years and I
