Just In Case

Life's not what it used to be

I struggle to survive

Always short of everything

A failure in your eyes

To understand what's in my head

Takes energy for two

Let all be known and all be shown

What I really think of you

So hold me to the light

And watch me fade to white

And burn away.

Their souls are on your hands

Too late to make amends

You've chosen your way.

I've heard it all before,

And I won't preach it anymore

That life's not made to waste.

So do what you can to be,

Be who you want to be,

Just in case

Stranglehold of bend and fold

To feed your sense of self

I spent my life to be your slave

Surrounded by myself

To want someone to comprehend

Is to want it all in gold

I see myself in black and white

Beaten down and old

Beaten down and old

So hold me to the light

And watch me fade to white

And burn away.

Their souls are on your hands

Too late to make amends

You've chosen your way.

I've heard it all before,

I won't preach it anymore

Life's not made to waste.

So do what you can to be,

Be who you want to be,

Just in case
