I felt the heart of a dieing man just the other day and   I knew I had to get it together, I had to get it done   I took a walk, I took a bath, I tried to wash my hands of this   But it was something in my skin   It's the genes that I live in every day       If you don't know, soon you will know   It only matters who you know   If you don't know, soon you will know   It only matters who you know       I felt the wind, I captured sin, I saw the echoes in the night   Is it something that I've missed, feel the need to second guess   I caught the wave, but missed the craze   I filled the tank on an empty gage, and I haven't gone nowhere   It's the fact that I don't care anymore       When the night life let you down   When your feelings get profound   When you wake up on the floor and   You are thinking to yourself god damn I am still here honoring you
