Living in this way I feel
That I got the shortest straw
If I had all the tickets
I'd still somehow lose the draw
The clouded reality gets heavy
And sometimes I can't breathe
The pain reminds me I'm alive
And of the things I've yet to achieve

Troubled but true
I'd never lie to you
Worthless and pale
I'm not worth the trail
A wire could bend
But I'm not easy to mend
Troubled and true
Still in limbo with you

A failed attempt
At the future it seems
In time I hope
It shines it's bright beams
Never look back
It gets darker if you do
The portrayal of hope
Will get to you too
