Oldest Blues

I’m the one they call the leader

The top of the chain

The weight of the world

Yeah

It’s carved in my name

Everyone’s watching

I’m cracking inside

But I smile like a pro

Let the tears collide

Hold my breath

Keep it steady

But my heart's not ready

Why's the oldest always heavy

I hate myself 'cause I’m the oldest

Carrying flames while they stay the coldest

Climbing the hill just to see no summit

The world spins fast but I’m stuck

I plummet

I’m the oldest

Yeah

I’m the oldest

They say be the strong one

Be the wise

But my mirrors just show tired eyes

I’m a rock in the river

Eroding away

They cheer for me but I can't stay

Take a step

Keep it steady

But my soul's not ready

Why's the oldest always heavy

I hate myself 'cause I’m the oldest

Carrying flames while they stay the coldest

Climbing the hill just to see no summit

The world spins fast but I’m stuck

I plummet

I’m the oldest

Yeah

I’m the oldest
