bad habits

bad habits continue

to poison my mind

things are returning

I thought I'd left behind

no questions or answers

no reason or rhyme

no one around to save you

bad habits take time

that could be better spent

earning the money

to pay this month's rent

the way things are going

you'll be living in a tent

nobody to behave to

          I can change, I know I can

          I can change, I know I can

bad habits have got me

afraid of myself

always checking to see

if I'm somebody else

absence of glory

no self-worth or wealth

did I waste all of my time here?

I could if I would

I should set my own self free

claim my stake

in history

working for some

destiny

it's been a long hard climb up here

          I can change, I know I can

          I can change, I know I can
