Irreversible

[Verse 1: Grieves]
I remember being too young to spell it
But old enough to know
That when his fingers touched the keys
It lit something up in his soul
But at four years old
It's hard to notice the power
But I sat under that piano for hours
Learnin' the sound of it
You heard an old man’s noise
I heard every tear that he wept
And every crack in his voice
Heard every fear that he kept
And every passion and joy
As he scrambled across the keys
And I played with my toys
I saw the power that projected from that living room
That man lost his family and everything he ever knew
He played that piano like it saved him from the hell he flew
Runnin’ from the pain that awaited from bein' raised a Jew
Some people paint with their music
Stimulate your senses
Enabling you to view it
But, those notes raised me
And trained me to take a tune with me
Everywhere that I go
Makin my home where the music speaks

[Chorus]
(You swear you've heard it before,)
(As it slowly rambles on and on,)
(No need in bringin' em back,)
(Cause' their never really gone...)
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)
And I am what I am because of you
And they can't take that away
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know)
And the man that I am’s cause of you
And they can't take that away...
(Just an old-fashioned love song...)

[Verse 2: Mr. Lif]
Saturday morning
Wakin up yawnin'
Smellin' moms cookin
And I couldn’t stop lookin'
At the TV -- Creature double feature
Godzilla vs. Rodan and King Ghidorah
I gotta watch
But here’s pops with a bag of 45 records
He had hand-picked and carefully selected
Pat Benetar, Rock the Casbah Clash
Damn, I wanna see what else he’s got in his stash
REO Speedwagon, now it’s time for Jackson, Michael
When he dropped Thriller, we went psycho
Dancin’ like our living room’s a club
Then I fell in love
Thoughts of perfomin
Years later, now I’m tourin’
Traveling the globe and my music’s my home
I pray she never leave me alone
I’d be lost in the zone
Deep sentiments are set in my fashion
Thank you for [???], my true passion

[Chorus]
(You swear you've heard it before,)
(As it slowly rambles on and on,)
(No need in bringin' em back,)
(Cause' their never really gone...)
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)
And I am what I am because of you
And they can't take that away
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know)
And the man that I am’s cause of you
And they can't take that away...
(Just an old-fashioned love song...)

[Bridge]
What you talk is irreversible. It’s irreversible
What you taught me’s irreversible
What you talk is irreversible. It’s irreversible
The things you talk ain’t reversible. It’s irreversible

[Chorus]
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know…)
And I am what I am because of you
And they can't take that away
(When the lights are low…)
I can still hear the music
This old box used to play
(The feelings that we’ve come to know)
And the man that I am’s cause of you
And they can't take that away...
(Just an old-fashioned love song...)
