Muscle Memory

I read the news every day or I try

Switch back and forth between

A scowl and a smile

People lift me up or drop me

Flat like a stone

But still I want to believe in them

My clan comes number one in the fight

We brought souls in this world

And we'll do it right

Though my moods they swing like a pendulum

They know where my heart comes from

Like our dear departed friend Andy told me

It's only water off a ducks

Back in the stream

Face it like a man face it like a wimp

But either way you're facing it

Burying your hero underneath

Your feathers

Signals a swan song

Yes the ride is short but your

Heretage is long

Muscle memory

Is what I use to carry me

Muscle memory

Ain't no way I worry 'bout a thing

Muscle memory

I reference stuff I know

Muscle memory

Then put my feet down and go

I want music to bring me down to my knees

Make me sob like an infant make me angry

Rip me to shreds clue me back up

Make my mind explode

Things that matter I can afford

Get my shit together and get onboard

Shed every pound, melt it away

Rid that overweight load

Burying your head underneath the sand

Is succumbing to the words I can't

Ok the ride may stall but your legacy

Stands tall

Muscle memory

Is what I use to carry me

Muscle memory

Ain't no way I worry 'bout anything

Muscle memory

I reference stuff I learn

Muscle memory

Disfigurement I've earned

And I wear it like a badge of honor

No stone unturned

Yeah it's the bane of my existence

To pass the torch in a world of nonsense

Shot a miss

So many nights I've toiled over this

Once around

Crotchety young man make it count

I make my own news out on the fly

Do much more than I need to get by

People lift me up

Don't let me drop

Or at least have a net there

Burying your hero in your hands

Looks like a deserted plan

Yes the ride is short

With temptations to abort

ok the ride may stall

You still sound off the bugle call

Muscle memory

Is what I use to carry me

Muscle memory

Ain't no way I worry 'bout anything

Muscle memory

I reference stuff I know

Muscle memory

Then put me feet down and go

And I go, yeah

There I go
