It all started innocent enough.

Just a couple kids trying to live it up.

Was it talent or just dumb luck?

I never dig out of a couple holes that I dug.

There's no solace, the folly of love.

Pretend that it didn't hurt, but it really does.

We were young once.

Young enough to not see what the world does.

Young enough to think that we'd never be washed up.

Went and stepped in shit.

Hit the pot, look, man.

The funny thing about success is even your own bloodline can come to resent it.

And all I ever did was want to make you proud.

Busted my ass just to put these records out.

Even your tears couldn't make me change.

Never get back the years that I gave away.

Well, it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way.

Oh, it's no excuse.

No remorse.

Let the chips fall as they may.

I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams.

And he stayed for his family.

Never a man of means, but over the years showed me exactly what being a man means.

That's something that I carry with me always.

Kind of like soul records from the old days.

There's a heart in the crack and then it's not supposed to be disposed of and thrown away.

I gave it everything I had in me.

And yes, there was damage in my absence.

Lost friends who left too soon, tragically.

Our little habits evolved into madness.

And it created and cast its shadow over all of our caskets.

And when it's festive and abscessed, finally moving on from the past tense.

Well, it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way.

Oh, it's no excuse, no remorse.

Let the chips fall as they may.

We found hope, baby, have a place

We found home in another way

We found hope in the hella place

But you can't forgive me We found home in another way

But you deem me unworthy.

Well, it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way.

Oh, it's no excuse, no remorse.

Let the chips fall as they may.

Hurt in any way Oh, no excuses, no remorse Let the chips fall as they may

We found hope in a hell of a place

We found home in another world We found home in another world We found home in another world

We found hope in a hell of a place We found hope in a hell of a place

We found home in another way
