old lessons are just as good as new ones

lyrics

There’s a time you should devour and a time to entertain
The ancient mystics say that the best that you can hope for is to put off your dying day
So I’ve made Shanthi

The more that you’re confronted, the more you gain control
The ancient mystic said to pick the roller coaster seat up front and grab a hold
Assume the role

When was the last time you ignored the strong feeling in your gut?
The ancient mystic asked, “every challenge you endured, Did it help or hurt your cause?
Lesson learned don’t give up

And I need to play
Work my life away
In the hopes that some day
I’ll complete this phrase

When was the last time you cried?
Be honest with yourself
The callous on your mouth is a surefire detriment, and imprudent to your health
What’s a friend that doesn’t need?

When was the last time you died?
It’s been 2 years maybe 3
Is it valid if you’re south of the Mason Dixon line by just a couple feet
You can always call me

When was the last time that you took
Ownership of your mistake
the pot that called the kettle black blew the whistle in your face
What a slap in the knee

When was the last time that you misplaced your distorted memory
The fact that you cannot recall is conveniently extreme
What a slap in the face

And I need to sing
My heart is so big
On Independence Day justice was aimed
Was it okay?

And I need to play
Work my life away
In the hopes that some day
I’ll complete this phase

And I need your crown
lift me up when I’m down
and I hope that you have found pleasantries all around
