I stare at a blank page
This town is an empty stage
Where I spit lines that are not mine
They’re not mine
By the time I try to buy
My way out with one more lie
You’ve caught me
With gun in hand
I used to be a better man
And I thought you’d understand
What it’s like to see the wall
Get closer to the car
Spare me, spare me
From the lie I have to live each day
I know that I’m to blame
Spare me, spare me
I know I will destroy myself
If I pretend to be somebody else this time
Take care if you take time
Cause I was lost
Til’ the moment that I made mine
Things will not be fine, not this time
Tread softly or you’ll bury your usefulness
You’ll see you’re stalling
You step too late
And you’re reduced to second rate
And I know you can relate
What it’s like to see them all
Conspire to raise the bar
This time I’ve got someone to hold my hand
This time I know we’ll make it better
This time we’ve got the inspiration
This time we hold the cards
