Ponder straight edge for awhile Ruminations and consequences Outtakes and mending fences Errors of your ways A little courageous moment It's a plot of land, and you could have owned it Where everything awaits the light of day You can't outrun the black clouds You've allowed more than is allowed The spirit leaves before the d**h rattle Losing battle Who knows where it all went? Before you earned it, it was all spent
Spending and getting and losing is all there is Left to your own devices A few white lies and some compromises You tell yourself, but it's not sinking in Who knows where this all will go? Those thousand fools you call your heroes The expectations Crossbars too high to reach One, two, three, here we go Into a high-wire act or a boondoggle side show There was no safety net underneath
