Didn't know

People act & behave differently when they are alone for extended periods of time, talking to oneself becomes natural

I didn't know this at the time

I was already speaking the language of the farmer

reading the movements

every little twitch'n'murmer

You've become a learner

with all that you will

just on accident

as you go about this trill

What'll happen until

you find out you can't do it?

You will say screw it

to do it because, yeah, you blew it

so get that dust in your nose

the one full of dirt

not the one from the skirt

It's going to be a bumpy ride

Don't hide and abide

from destiny

what we all can see

or it might just be you'n'me

Get down on your knees

under them trees

Find yourself

Accumulate wealth

and fix your health

to live a longer life

to eat another slice

so roll the dice

Can you do it

or will you say screw it

because you already blew it?
