Fad Lan - Life is Short, Spend It With the Ones You Love v2 Lyrics

With this calling of mine
Hustle bones makes it hard to recline
Aim far, played parts, do it all for the shine
If we fall, just a pebble that we broke in the mines
Toss a stone to the lime cause we can't barter time
A breathing arrow of the faults, reminiscing on a future self
Wonder how my actions stand on the figure shelf
I'm just a digit in this infinite string
I'd put my faith in the master of puppets
But I've been struggling for an answer for a while with no answer, so f*ck it
You could play me like a marionette,
But I've accepted that this life intermission for death
I've been higher than a cliche, brain been on vacation
Got my tickets to the game but the train left the station
My father is a doctor but he sees a lack of patience
And my mother saw the brightest, I'm just idle steady waiting
I worry I won't touch the sky amidst my years of now
It's lonely at the top, but it's colder at the ground

I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though

Young man, old soul
Wrinkles on the brain mark the pain that I fold
Don't comment on my stains, there's a lesson I was told
If you want to change your ways
Then it starts from the coals, man this shit scary
M;y brother showed me how to flip it from a block of dairy
And then he left, so I took the torch to harvest cherries
The sands pass if I smile or frown
I relinquish expectation from the bustle of my town
Fog cleared, now the residue I gotta clean
I bought the gloves, gotta scrub a little elbow grease
See my reflection as a youngin' staring back at me
I know you're crying, but it's better now I promise thee
You were lost, but this journey showed a better path
You needed love, so it's only right I hug you back
She wanted closure, but you tried to save a wasteland
You had to leave it, let your roots grow in season, uh
I been lonely for a while now
And it's a challenge to be comfortable with silence from the high ground
All my friends say it's a part of life
But I been squirming for the answers, steady creeping like a panther
I see the future in these glimpses like a TikTok
Every mountain that I climb got a stiff drop
Uncertain if tomorrow's a reality
As of now, put precision into each chop

I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
I don't need nobody, I would love somebody though
