Oddisee - Man I Use To Be lyrics

rate me

I woke up in the morning

I take a trip to the corner store

that's when I heard my calling

but I never heard the voice the truth before

so I kept walking pretending I didn't see

walk by a window and my reflection said to me...

Chorus:

You can try all the same

but you'll never know this mystery

there's no pride on your plane

so you're not the man you used to be

try all the game

but you'll never know this mystery

when your plight has no plane

said you're not the man you used to be

Losing sight of what matters

then in my demeanour the brightness of the flatter

a tyson is the chatter of a room filled with candle

the place by fume that conclude with the mantra

im off to a flame when i couldnt hold a candle

to what I used to be

to what I used to handle

I used to be hungry yeah but tight for respect

and I just respect people want something from me

service at the table that revolved in my favor

designated savior guess I'm picking up the check

develop for a pilate for a rather bitter flavor

the fruits in my labor at the price it won't fetch

they cost me some friends

they cost me connect

but they ain't even death the opposite is regret

for most men would as I probably should

but the men I know now ain't the men I recollect

Chorus:

You can try all the same

but you'll never know this mystery

there's no pride on your plane

so you're not the man you used to be

try all the game

but you'll never know this mystery

when your plight has no plane

said you're not the man you used to be

Searching for the elements I hire came together

I stumble on some blame I thought it to whatever

my disposition taking on I don't give a f*ck never was a few times

when the armour got severed the walls came down, the skin wasn't leathered

and if you want it hurt me the closer the better,

my foes were posing as a shoulder and when i went to lean on let me fall over

and those are the lessons that you learn when you older

it's harder to be burned but your heart's become colder

a bolder

but in return for your heart is stone its hard to let your guard down when the problem's gone

a soldier that keeps fighting when the war is done

forever ready for over more comes

yeah and I'm aiming at the mirror

I might end up shooting me

don't recognize the man that I used to be

who's he?

[Chorus:]
