I meet faces thousands of them a day
Who see me in the wrong way
Just working for a pay
I got a twist right in the midst of it
I'm taking my time so I can split
Engrave it on my fingertips
And put me down for one great hit

I got my thoughts laid out
They're bringing me down
I'm losing my mind; why can't I turn around
I got these words spelled out
They're making the sound
That plays in my head; it's time to turn around

I gotta take this one step at a time
I'm gunna make this whole wide world mine
It's not to late for me to get back on my feet

I got my thoughts laid out
They're bringing me down
I'm losing my mind; why can't I turn around
I got these words spelled out
They're making the sound
That plays in my head; it's time to turn around

It's not the dreams that I chase that's got them calling me insane
It's just the way that I live I don't have to explain
So I'll try and I'll fall then I'll promise you all
That there's no letting go of all the things I thought I knew
And all the shit it's put me through

I got my thoughts laid out
They're bringing me down
I'm losing my mind; why can't I turn around
I got these words spelled out
They're making the sound
That plays in my head; it's time to turn around
