I’ve reached a higher level
Tried to act like it was simple
I thought we’d keep this civil
I don’t eat a lot, just nibble

But I’m still hungry, though
I’ve still got room to grow
You haven’t even peaked
Or caught a glimpse of this one man show

I’ve stepped up my game
Despite feeling ashamed
Clouds above me
Standing in the pouring rain

Somehow I feel relieved
There’s nothing up my sleeve
If you don’t like it, just leave
It’s better to give than receive

My heart is pure as gold
Out the door and down the road
It used to be that I had control
Now I’m doing what I’m told

It’s this way everyday it seems
Always paddling upstream
On your own or for a team
Reality is what’s left of dreams

I’m just trying to make my own way
Living life day after day
Keeping negativity at bay
Finding it hard to find the right words to say

I try and be myself
Not try to be someone else
Throwing pennies down the well
Wishing I don’t end up in hell

I do the best I can
To be a good man
But even I have days
I find it hard to stick to plan

It’s who I am, it’s in my nature
Not to worry, it’s nothing major
Nothing that could lead to danger
Just the departure from our lord and savior

I’ve got my own ideas
On how it looks or it appears
No need to shed your tears
For me, it’s the same year after year

I’m sure things will work out
I don’t have the slightest doubt
Not certain what I’m going on about
It’s just what I do when you’re not around

There are days I pray for rain
A chain reaction for the unexplained
My arms are bound, I feel restrained
My score is low, but at least I’m still in the game

Doing what I can to win
Fighting off what I’m against
Hoping for sweet revenge
And to spend my time with friends
