jim dollard - Days Go By Lyrics

Yeah...

These days I spent my time slow
Ly wasting away in my home
I grew up, just finished school so
Got my degree to pursue goals
That don't excite my desires, got two choices I could work a 9-5 shift
Imprison myself for the week until the weekend then I'll escape through sedation from 21 'til infinity
Or I could see the world while I'm young, then trade off my soul and settle down, done
But I've seen too many people all around me living like this now I understand fully what's at stake
That spark that flames in your eyes goes
And it's replaced by fake lives and faces
When all my days become a rat race to the line
The only saving grace I find's in a pad and a pen

I've been feeling days go by like they're one straight line
And when I trace I find that my faiths entwined
So then I grace the mic, spill my blood in vials
Until I'm laid out on the floor

But it's not easy to let go
All the lies you grew up 'round slow
Ly dividing life into a poor
Ly advised and forfeited show
To pursue exactly what you been assigned you to been to
Chasing a paper trail just to get by
Never giving a mind to your purest desires
Had to break the cycle I punctured the tyres
But these times are toughest when
Friends question, families turn back on you, left alone to the cackles and laughter of pawns the ridicule
Isolates you, but it's the gift they gave you
I'ma perfect this shit alone til' the world finally f*cks with me
And that's word to mammy I've been this way since nappies and dodies
She raised me up to be a king
And I take, this shit, day-by-by, swallow a pint or twenty, with all of my Briary Street boys
Then wake, next day, tightening a hook
Keeping it original, something that's overlooked
Shout out Danny, shout out Gran-daddy
Looking down upon me, love you always
And I'll do this shit until they come take me away

I've been feeling days go by like they're one straight line
And when I trace I find that my faiths entwined
So then I grace the mic, spill my blood in vials
Until I'm laid out on the floor

Spittin' these bars like poison I've leached from my soul, yeah
Spittin' these bars like poison I've leached from my soul, yeah
