Ladd Mercer - Poser Lyrics

Took a hard spill
Wasn't in the plans
Such a buzz kill
Hard to understand

Years are passing
As these bones decay
The gods are laughing
Life's a game we play

It was a Monday just like any other
Sun was beating down that's Cali weather
Relive the glory days whip out the skateboard
Pushing plywood hard as manual labor

Pull up to the spot in Westlake Village
For once the park wasn't packed with damn scooter kids
Trying to get back to the groove I once was in
Landing kickflips is as good as heroin

Took a hard spill
Wasn't in the plans
Such a buzz kill
Hard to understand

Years are passing
As these bones decay
The gods are laughing
Life's a game we play

Cruising on the concrete like a vet
Dreams of sponsorships and buying a jet
See these little kids landing harder tricks
Motivated to work hard and be on top this shit

Roll up to the pyramid at full speed
Deck lost connection with both feet
Slammed on the pavement shoulder dislocated
Drive with one arm to the doc barely made it

Pain is not as bad
As knowing what's ahead
The possibility
Of being forever weak
This body needs to heal
The waiting game is real
There was a time
When nothing could
Stop this skeleton

Laid on the table chest down
Procedure didn't take too long
Tied a weight to the right arm
Above all else do no harm

Thank the gods for insurance coverage
That painful memory water under the bridge
They said to wait three weeks before returning
Ice that girl to speed up the recovery

Took a hard spill
Wasn't in the plans
Such a buzz kill
Hard to understand

Years are passing
As these bones decay
The gods are laughing
Life's a game we play
