Spinning Yarn

I've got a thousand stories maybe I should tell you one
Got stories about drugs, about love, and how the hell I'm tough
I've got stories about women only fell for one
And all the chapters unfinished that I simply welded shut
I used to know this person like a younger bro to me
But as he got older turned to shit and turned to speed
I see him every now and then, a shell of what he used to be
I just keep walking, though I miss my brother truthfully
I used to know this person, always chasing being perfect
Eventually stopped, whether or not, she'd always leave me hurting
I made the right choice to cut her out, but
Fuck it's hard to not namedrop her on this album
This guy I used to know, he'd pack it into tuna rolls
And come for more than money if there came a time where you default
He finished school and moved to Wacol I ain't seen him since
A wounding charge, two years, for some bleeding ribs

So take me away to a place where I can trust
And take me away to a place where I can love
Forgetting faces, am I ever changing?
Let me set it straight, clarity I'm forever chasing
So take me away to a place where I can trust
And take me away to a place where I can love
I'm simply spinning yarns, an old soul storyteller
Guarantee you any season that I've fought the weather

I knew a guy that OD'd because he felt so lonely
That drugs up in his system was just something he knew won't leave
He gave up on his dream it's something that I hated seeing
But what I hated more was telling mate that "hey, I'm leaving"
All these things I said I'd never do, I've done now
Maybe I should face the fact I'm not myself and I'm proud
In the mirror where I see myself and my reflection
I don't see the old me, I see a fucking legend
And that's who I am now and that's ok with me
But let's talk about this woman who was mates with me
The other night around midnight said she hated me
The one I fell for who broke my heart I guess we'll wait and see
The final chapter I can bring myself to speak about's
About the day ones, mates, cunts, that I have been around
I'll leave them proud cause they can see I'm on my way up
If only everybody knew how I came up

So take me away to a place where I can trust
And take me away to a place where I can love
Forgetting faces, am I ever changing?
Let me set it straight, clarity I'm forever chasing
So take me away to a place where I can trust
And take me away to a place where I can love
I'm simply spinning yarns, an old soul storyteller
Guarantee you any season that I've fought the weather
