[Hook: Alex Isaak]
I'm on top of the world...
An ain't thinkin' about coming down
All the way in em' clouds
Can't nobody tell me 'bout...
Tell me 'bout my limits...
In these beautiful nightmares
Tell me 'bout my limits...
In these beautiful nightmares
Tell me 'bout my limits... (beautiful nightmares)
[Verse 1: Young]
Open up my heart to reveal a dirty closet
A slave in the mind and I'm still stuck in this bondage
Where do I go to find peace in this upper room
k**ed off my flesh but I still have to buy a tomb
Doom from the start of it, life dug a bigger pit
Bigger fish in the pond still can't find significance
Hole in my heart and I think I need to fill a void
Wooden like a puppet but I'm wishing just to be a boy
Growin' into a man, but what man do you really see
Gain the whole world but he's lost his eternity
The pain that I feel got me caught up in the system
I'm trying to claim rape, but I'm far from being a victim
Looking at my family tree asking what this branch here will be
Another fallin' leaf that's caught up in this autumn breeze
I don't know, but I see it as a lesson learned
Like a baby who finds out that fire burns
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Young]
Laying in my bed and I contemplate my very fate
Walking on that narrow but wonder if it's really straight
Asking if I found hope love is speaking to my heart
Will you let me in or will you keep me in the dark
Out on the road doing shows trying to be a king
Marching in the streets, but I rarely ever had a dream
Seein' my best friend laying down in that casket
Got me screaming out Lord, "are we really ba*tards?"
Knocks on my door so I rarely ever go home
Atmosphere messed up; got a weak ozone
On the phone with my lady wonder why her heart ache
Couldn't be a man and eat everything on her plate
Demonstrate anger and not patience to my family
Wonder if my boys will be men of integrity
I don't know, but I guess I have to wait and see
And be a man of the man who is guiding me, yeah
[Hook]
