We Carried the Boat - Big Boi
Tall ships set sail
They don't return
The wanderlust
Of a youth forgot
Uncrash the waves, curl them back to the sea
When did I grow to be this, to be me
Green hands have changed from saplings into trees
The shock, the awe
We lived so fast, we learned too soon
Nothing can halt the waxing moon
If this is grown who can tell me
How I live to hold peace
We lie
We all lie
Worthless until proven giving
Shrug off your adolescent apathy and breathe
We are the time we give to others
We are the way we protect our friends
We are the lies we tell our family
Remember when you drove your best to the hospital
When you thought you knew what love was
When a friend turned traitor so you spent the night in jail
Let the rats eat shit
What we've learned is ours forever
We will never need to be saved
All life in flux
All pain will pass
All roads converge
Ego death, gods rot
I am fighting to stay me
In the face of overwhelming change
Can I still be the same
After my whole world has rearranged
I don't know if I will ever have the words
When youth fades will we say
Of the past and greater days
I knew, I knew all along
When youth fades and my eyes are grey
I will say I knew the truth all along
