If I wasted talent
Could I do without it
I strongly doubt it
It's what keeps me grounded

Bitter from a lover past
It's eaten me alive
It's taking all my energy
It's taken all my drive

I can't seem to move past it
It's just another facet
Of the world in which I live in
I cannot seem to grasp it

Life kicks you when you're down
When no one is around
The words coming from my mouth
They don’t make a sound

Knock me down to the ground
Get up and try again
Knock me down to the ground
Get up and try again

Giving up is easy
A sunny morning keeps on teasing
The start of a new day
Just who am I appeasing

Is it for ones self
It has me contemplating
Finding what's in store
And is it a life worth saving

Shall I carry on
Going through the motions
One day after another
Am I to be the chosen

Can't you see I'm hurting
From a heart that's broken
Can't you see my wheels are churning
I've never been outspoken

You dashed off to the unknown
Hoping you'd return home
I finally got a grip on
King Arthur's sword in stone

I was the king to be
And you were my chosen queen
My damsel in distress
We got caught up in the dream

If this story had a happy ending
I'd have a heart worth mending
I know this may sound tempting
But it's you I was depending

If just for a moment
You brought me such fulfillment
The light that led the way
To eternal endearment

But you punctured me with daggers
Through your eyes I felt disdain
You left me cold and heartless
That it's driven me insane

I don't know if I ever could
Love someone again
Will I ever recover
I guess it all depends
I guess it all depends

Vanquished, pulled and pushed
Out the door, into the brush
Fallen over, fell
Burning flesh in hell

Noah with his ark
Moses' parted sea
Zeus with his lightning bolt
And then of course there's me

Will God please show himself
Allow us to roam free
Put an end to all the violence
Cure humanities disease

Stop with all the hate
Destructing all that we create
I'm losing all my patience
To hurry up and wait

I realized that when I woke up
That I'd still be me
No changes were made at all
So I prayed on bended knee

It's all that I could do
To not get in the way
My spirit at an all time low
Living day by day

I struggle just to make my bed
To leave the house and venture out
This isn't who I am
Or what I'm all about

An infamous self destructor
Of a life without
Sluggish with no money
Riddled in self doubt

It's time to make some changes
Wash away my drought
Look into the mirror
Raise my voice and shout

Have a greater purpose
Destined to achieve
Light a fire under my ***
Make myself believe

I'm special and unique
By all accounts a freak
Hideous on the inside
When all seems lost and bleak

Take a stand and be a man
Fight, but be discreet
I'll cross the finish line in time
Even if I have to cheat

Sanity, insanity
Loud and proud, transparency
Visualize, close your eyes
If need be, fantasize
Love and hate, or despise
Count your sheep, hypnotized
Stand up to, or run and hide
Problems large, or magnified
Veer off course, or stay in stride
Lift you up, or fall behind
Feeling loved, romanticize
Losing, lost, won the prize
Disregard, at least you tried
All of it to my surprise

For the love of the game
A bat and a glove
Not quite the same
For the game that I love

Running the bases
Chasing a dream
Always competing
Is my baseball team

We're after a trophy
To prove we're the best
The number one team
The champs, nothing less

Winning or losing
It's good to have fun
If you give your best effort
Then you've already won

Running the bases
A swing and a miss
Catching fly *****
Here comes the pitch
