Question Everything Lyrics

Question Everything lyrics

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

Chorus: 
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 your mind
I`ve lost half my life to wisdom
So forgive me if I come off sounding bitter
If my words push you away
If I seem surprised to see you
Lying here, in front of me
Just consider what you`re asking
And give me a little time
`Cause I`m still having trouble breathing
For in all these days
I`ve never seen you cry

[chorus]

"...No son of mine..."
Should I be sleeping?
"...No son of mine..."
You never understood
That I don`t need your help
Don`t have to save me from myself
Or take me out to prove
That I should live my life like you...

As I ask a simple question 
Cuts me off with his reply 
He`s been practicing for decades 
But I am listening this time
He flows in and out of riddles 
Stories change without the wine
And at least he seems much clearer
On how it feels to be my size

[chorus]
Just what it means to me
Just what it means to me...
