lyrics

Not cat-like cowardice
but maybe a hair of lion's pride
the skill king kissed princes goodbye
and went back to his pack to reside
to wait out the last dark days
of that final feline nine
While the eldest was lightyears away
losing himself in his own mind
(Knowing it's only a matter of time)
Stuck in the struggle between
Keeping the younger from lagging behind
and shouldering the weight of a world
less than kind
All while maintaining an outlook, refined
I defy you to find
a more noble blood line
a less malleable mind

Christ, you've had a hell of a time
still couldn't stand to see you cry
I beg the bot fly to come suck both
duets dry

You're a dear friend of mind
wish i'd better known your old man
before he died

But when I see that spark shoot from the
back of your eye
(I) know he's there all the time
as sure as the sparrow flies
Heaven aside
He's for sure shining down
perched somewhere in the light
the light

The fight
the sleepless nights
last rights
despite the fact he fought with all
his might

And so at a glance
you're plagued by happenstance
left a soldier for the queen
those working class uncles and ants
true blue collar uncles and aunts
But you've never been one to romance
You just say "fuck it!
We all get dealt a dirty hand
I'm just a man derived from the
fuckin' man
and I'm doing the best that I can"
