The Welterweight

Lyrics

Must have been toughest I'd seen pound for pound at the shows Tattoo of "fear only God, never man" on his closed eyes I caught up to the renegade deep within the underground and said, "Talk to me, friend" I grew up as the welterweight, of this town [Verse 2] First came the quick one and two through the jaw, he blacked both my eyes Never before had I seen only stars in the daylight He said come back again when you're healthy, I'll let you try another round Hе said, "Talk to me, boy" I took out every wеlterweight around [Verse 3] I shot for the moon and flew through the sun, I was moving too fast My mind's made up, my mind's made of mud, I was moving too fast One, two, and three, all living just to be, I can honestly say how I do not know I fell awake, and then just stopped calling [Verse 4] You know, you know, you know that my fear of the sky is inherited If only they could fly through the song You know, you know, you know that look of the eye is imperative If only they weren't the ways to the soul [Verse 5] "Everything's all right for now", he said I feel just like I'm falling down from the gates where I used to live It's been so long since I've been around To live alone, live off the crumbs of your love Fall on the lust and the long tooth Fully in love, fully in love with the mount and the road opened up to you [Outro] "Everything's all right for now", he said I feel just like I'm falling down
