Maybe I'm A Realist​/​Maybe I'm Sick Of This

from Wooden Thunder by Honour Roots

/

about

A song about a boxers family life and his attempts at balancing what he loves and what made him, with what he could lose and what makes him.

lyrics

Doctor, say these old hands still got punch
though my fingers are worn right down to the bone
cause I can't change buddy,
I still live in a world where anything goes
I keep them on ice
but when that bell rings fighting is all that I know
you're not to blame son
you're not too late
but I'll get by on my own

Yeah you're not to blame
but nothing else matters if you're too late
you see the way that you swing that belt around is not for me
yeah but I'd still save you
nothing else matters if I'm to blame
you see you're all that matters to me

When the bets are down, we'll go another round

And on that day the passion fades
I swear I'll throw the towel in before it's too late

Well that's not good enough
I bet you thought that in your head it sounded better
but they're just words to me
there's no meaning and I swear
you've had no sense knocked in from every beating
you dance better than you talk with your fists
I quickly learned not to test your patience
I hate this
you made this - your own mess
and now it's up to me to figure it out and save you

The doctors say that if you take one more blow to the head
then you'll stay down
you think it's in your hands
you'll listen then as you listened now

And on that day you'll learn the hard ways lead to the ground
and you'll find the mountains you've climbed

Not to late son, not too late
for thinking it matters but nothing fucking matters
not too blame son, you're not to blame
for thinking it matters at all

Maybe I'm a realist
maybe I'm just sick of this
