lyrics

Riddle me this, riddle me that
I've been struggling with the facts
And I'm feeling worthless
part of the circus
with a cliche balancing act
Give me a beat, some rhythm to speak
Cause all hell's broke loose in me
And there's no contain'
I'm not complainin'
But I can't hide if you don't speak

Cut back to reality, don't know what's happening

I can't fool myself, don't think I'm
Better off alone, I can't hold my own
I'm taking one step up, two back
I'm clinging to the broken road
But falling through the cracks
I'm not yet home

I had the tick of my future clock
I had a spot on the first place block
See, I had perfection, missed my direction
Now I'm trembling, dealing with shock
I had a head that fit in my chest
I had a heart that was under arrest
But I let the heat knock me off my feet
Before I could taste the rest

I can't find my own way out
I'm knee deep in doubt and I need savin'
And I can't kiss another mouth
It'd be without my hearts permission
