lyrics

Feel on the outs
Deep in a drought
Feeling self-doubt
Losing my clout
Sensing a rout
Nothing to tout
Try to shout out
What it’s all about
On with my day
Go home or stay
Hold it at bay
Brush it away
Come what may
Bend it and sway
No time to play
Outcome I weigh
May think I’m beaten
Fully retreating
The moment’s fleeting
& worth repeating
Poor heart is seizing
Yet still believing
Drive is not easing
Aim to be pleasing
Lost in a haze
Thirty-nine days
Full mudslide pave
Attempting to stave
No time to shave
Try to behave
My word engraved
Onus I waive
Feel insecure
Please reassure
I can endure
Try to procure
A tad demure
Provocateur
Cast out the lure
Camouflaged cure
It’s so compelling
The moment’s telling
There’s no short selling
Last rebel yelling
There’s no concealing
Sly hand you’re dealing
It’s so revealing
The cards you’re stealing
Hear what you’re saying
See the game playing
There’s no conveying
High price they’re paying
Lost path you’re laying
Will lead to straying
Did the surveying
If I may weigh in
As the curtain draws
Take a breath and pause
Hoping for applause
That there’s no faux pas
Stepping on the stage
Turn another page
Hoping to engage
Successfully assuage
Tear the cobwebs
Outta my head
Hung by a thread
I’ve been mislead
Pounds to be shed
Lines I’ve been fed
Innocence pled
Rights have been read
I will not bail
Wall I won’t scale
Cab I won’t hail
Barge will not sail
On a fresh trail
Breathe in exhale
Straddle the rail
To no avail
I am rebelling
We hear you yelling
The storm’s not quelling
There’s just no telling
High point is reeling
Right to the ceiling
Wood joints are squealing
Fresh paint is peeling
Last chance is waning
Mirage is feigning
Grey sky is raining
Blue water staining
Love is ordaining
Hope is sustaining
My will’s retaining
The flood is draining
As the curtain draws
Take a breath and pause
Hoping for applause
That there’s no faux pas
Stepping on the stage
Turn another page
Hoping to engage
Successfully assuage
