Verse 1-
It takes one mistake to make a defining moment.
Then it’s a long time before they can finally notice
you redefined your motives in the supreme court.
My appointed later showed up in jean shorts he wore
at the green door before throwing up on their clean floor.
Then can drink more than grannies stash in a sink-droor.
The whole system is just game. They’re a team sport.
I leaned forward with a promise to join the Marine (corpse).
Only gave me four nights in jail. Might as well.
At least there’s bread to eat and a bed to sleep in inside a cell.
I’m a thief, they said. But I earn what I want to get.
It’s just, obstacles always turn up in front of it.
Constantly popping up. Time is wasting and my mind is racing
too quick to find a place in these lines I’m tracing.
Gotta listen to positive hints or end up with no pot to piss in,
in a doctor clinic, shot up, or locked in a pen.
And it goes like that. Whatever doubt they give me,
I throw right back..

Chorus 1-
I don’t know where I’m going with my life.
Nothing’s right and I miss feeling alive.
Chasing these broken dreams.
Trying to cope with things.

Verse 2-
Got a head in the clouds that keeps altitude  
God forbid anybody should reach out to you 
What the fuck wound you up?  You ain't down on luck 
You don't say shit that isn't profound enough 
Always too good for the measure 
Your talent is wasted unless you put fourth the effort 
to pop the cork loose when it is, aim
for the flame that caught the short fuse
you got something wrong with you when you're ready to flip on
any mother fucker that tries to bond with you 
Maybe that's what might be keeping you up nights  
or maybe its the rum. Or maybe its the bud light  
At first, you figured you'd cut them off any given time
but your habits haven't crossed through any finish line
Who sold you that? Sometimes your mind holds you back
From trying to find the soul you had 
Sitting there in your darkest hour, your last resort
is to try and change the ones who already are in power 
So I don't have advice to give besides, 
"Stay the fuck out of my lane.  I've got a life to live."

Chorus 2-
Now, I know where I’m going with my life.
Things are right and I finally feel alive.
No more broken wings.
I can cope with things.
