We don’t have too much time but I take so much time to do all
We always stand in line then we lose our place every time we fall
I need a new direction this one’s not acceptin me anymore
I’m so sick of correction, please be the step I’m ready for

I have my ticket, fuck, I’m lost in the thicket
Was this shit regifted, it feels like it was
Sippin from the spicket on the outside lookin in it
I’ve always been too chicken even though it seemed like fun
C’mon and take the ride, little baby won’t you swim
Hold your brittle head high, dip your little piggies in
The waters just fine, I’ll let you wade a bit
Till your fears subside, your pathetic, bathe in it
That’s when I knew that I would drown if I didn’t learn to fight
Splashin all around, I had to earn the right
Pulled my head up from the ground just to feel it burn in light
Then I came to join the crowd, but I returned in spite
I won’t be a part, so I refused to start
Thought I was a shiny star, then I got confused with art
Not knowing what was real pierced me right through the heart
I was granted VIP in your abusement park

We don’t have too much time but I take so much time to do all
We always stand in line then we lose our place every time we fall
I need a new direction this one’s not acceptin me anymore
I’m so sick of correction, please be the step I’m ready for

I laced up my boots, thought I’d put them to use
Worn out the soul I’d lose, unclear if I’d get it back
I faced the truth then confessed it in a booth
Did the best that I could do but there’s something that I lack
I step up to the plate but my best hit’s just a bunt
I stagger to the base and know it’s not what I want
Feel like an average joe you never see me up in front
Why the hell can’t I make the hit that will take me from this slump
Never called, no requests, why can’t I swim in streams?
Losin money, can’t invest myself in all these hidden schemes
Happiness cannot exist when all your bets are in your dreams
Keep your standards simple, life ain’t the shit it seems
I’m not angry, just saying it takes more than a skill
To stay hard, more than a pill, play cards, more than a deal
Face odds and even the score and sure, go for the kill
Be prepared when road slows, I’m sure it will
