I've come a long way but I've got much further to go/ so it's either starve at home or get my work in on the road/ and since no one wants to feel alone I'm always slow to push go/ and don't know if I'm ready to be put on all the good shows/ I take my work load/ and put it on my back/ retract any statement made while I was slaving for a stack/ found a new way to react/ and lost one to relax/ had an asthma attack then crashed into the tracks/ fade to black/ before you had a chance to make it back/ staying through a heat wave in your house that's made of wax/ the climax is never worth the anticipation/ life is tantric more about your accumulations/ so you could be moving weight or hand to hand bandaging/ trying to be optimistic while ignoring the damages/ and the camera is candid but no one's watching the channel/ I'm on a panel with amateur's who keep running out of ammo/ evading the scandal while trying to clean the living up/ learning how to handle the disappointment of giving up/ many come and go before someone actually stays/ and I've had to play a thousand shows before I finally got paid/ it's a slow and steady way to make it in this day and age/ where everything is free except for what you wish to say/ download it/ who really needs to sit and hold it/ it's like trying to save your soul when you already sold it/ went from hopeful to hopeless in a blink of an eye/ just like a pilot who says that he only drinks when he flies/ there's a place and a time/ to erase from my mind/ that we are all derived from the same ancient line/ the power to rewind/ reflect and recline/ is the only incentive against getting left behind/ see a gentlemen is someone who has everything he needs/ with nothing to desire and nothing he can leave/
