safe

the desire to stay safe
has caused me nothing but trouble

out of time

I'm running out of time
on this planet earth
I've squandered my potential
as I drowned in low self worth
my mind keeps on squawking
though it's got nothing to say
if I have a magic moment
Lord, let it be today

          because I'm running
          out of time
          because I'm running
          out of time

205 song

I spent 420 on the 205
driving 100 miles an hour
trying to get away from you
but I'm beginning to
lose power

old pair of boots

I'm like that old pair of boots
you can't bear to throw away
that kernel of the truth
in every word you say
I'm the innocence of your childhood pursuits
like an old pair of boots

lawyer

I got a lawyer
to do my dirty work for me
I am an adult

help myself

I know I need to quiet down
but I'm feeling the need to be loud
sometimes I've got words that deserve saying
just in time -- there's no delaying
I'm just okaying
the games that you and me keep playing
but I don't need your help
I don't need anyone's help
because I can help myself
I can help myself

finished product

I want to see the finished product
before the process starts
I want to go from step A
to step Z
I don't have a plan
for my poor attention span
and it ain't got a plan for me
