lyrics

I set out with good intentions, all I seem to feel is tension now
May I just mention I ain’t getting what I wanted from this dream ?
Maybe I should just hang up this mic and scream to myself
In this padded cell
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m letting everybody around me down
See I promised you more than this
I said we’d start living but were still here just existing
‘Cause again I lost my footing and I fell
To the bottom of this ladder and I wish it didn’t matter but it does
Normally I’d get straight back up but
Every time I fall, ya see it’s bruising my mind
Destroying me that little more time after time
So I’m left now thinking that my only option is to quit
But I can’t even do that, there’s to much riding on it
So where does that leave me, guess I gotta keep pushing through this wall
But please, I can’t afford another fall

Help me, help me, I’m running out of time
I was late getting out the gate
I’m getting left behind
Help me, help me, give me some peace of mind
Just any kind of sign I’m not wasting this life
My time

Don’t get me wrong I do love what I do
It’s just sometimes I wish I made a different choice when I was made to choose
I wonder what life would be like if I took the nine to five
Would I still be begging ya for help or would I be fine
Just living every day with a solid routine ?
Na, I’ve always known that was never me
My spirit is free, I was born to create
I just hope I haven’t left it all a little too late

Help me, help me, I’m running out of time
I was late getting out the gate
I’m getting left behind
Help me, help me, give me some peace of mind
Just any kind of sign I’m not wasting this life
My time
My time

Help me, help me, I’m running out of time
I was late getting out the gate
I’m getting left behind
Help me, help me, give me some peace of mind
Just give me any kind of sign I’m not wasting this life
My time
My time
