Like hanging on a rope with blistered hands*
Trying to float in sinking sand
Money will screw you again and again
When things don't quite go as planned
Like wanting to sing with your mouth wired shut
You're down on the ground and you can't get up
So here you are – you thought you were so tough
But here's the universe calling your bluff
I never thought things would turn out this way
Thought the drought would always hit every other place
Thought that everyone made mistakes
But not a friend that I see says why the long, long face
Like wanting to know someone but never leaving your head
Wanting to know the world but never leaving your bed
Standing at the door of heaven, paralyzed with dread
Cause things haven't quite gone as planned
No things don't always go as planned
I never thought things would turn out this way
Thought the drought would always hit every other place
Thought that everyone made mistakes
But not a friend that I see says why the long, long face
Everybody sins
But finding good within is critical
Even within yourself
