When it's my time to go Lead the way out, I'll find another way in from a changed route When this autumn rain rinses the pain out I will stomach the sudden syringe in my veins now Hold me like cards to your chest And show me your arms are outstretched If only I can rest my bones then I can get back home Where the journey ends When the curtains close Will the gates open? Will my faith change? Will I make atonement Riding the waves of an abiding avocation I've made my own I'm my own opponent but the rhythm it consoles me When my cynicism throws me For a loop on this bed of regrets My medicine chests and cabinets were filled to the brim with my loneliness It's just the way it goes When you're too anxious just to say hello He thinks too much and such people are dangerous Well, tell Julius I usually am a little angsty but I'm only angry just at myself And that'll only be hazardous to my health 'Cause all I've been is the catalyst for my hell Analysis paralysis, a battle within the self I was saddled without a paddle Up the creek against my shadow Mano a mano and I'm out of ammo until I tattle on myself That'll calm and quell this addled mind And unravel fears from a child to an adult Mind over matter, what matters most is scattered Across the landscapes inside us Bring it to the light and magnify the Unstable parts of you and one day you'll Have moved and untangled the rope You can learn to cope and feel like you've made it But the traces of change won't treat you like a stranger When the clock is dropped off and not retrieved Plant a thought, just drop one seed 'Cause when you travel in silent unspeakable memories, still thoughts run deep I don't want to let go I don't want to let go I don't want to let go Not yet I don't want to let go I don't want to let go But I gotta let go First Steps Finding myself lost, entering an exit Finally signing off, attempting to get this Head trip to stop, rendering me restless Relentlessly trying to find the strength to move on Hate to admit it, but wait a minute I got to get up out of here to get a greater vision And I'm shifting the gears I've driven in for years And killing my fears to look at the man in the mirror And appear clear, we're here at the ending of a segment Not thinking of a heaven or a hell for a minute Staring at the ticking of a clock, sinking Into my thoughts 'cause I'm scared of living Given the fact that I want to backtrack To the past but I can't so I have to adapt To a land that forces me to switch dreams mid-stream Scouring around for get rich quick schemes Stayed awake and played late 'til daybreak Now I've got to break away and change lanes And vacate the area, take aim and bury the Same ways that carried me down this old road Holding this moment, as long as I can Until it's gone and I've got to move on and plan Used to have the time, now it's hard to find Leaning my shoulders on the world, now the world's on mine Time flies by, get your seatbelt fastened And watch the leaves fall as the season passes 'Cause now I've been summoned and I'm becoming the tree To call off the leaves to fall off of me Offset the synthesis with simple principals Bloom from the cocoon in life's chrysalis I don't want to withdraw all I deposit Running on stop signs, exercising caution Chased a dream and tied my shoes Learned to face defeat cause I might lose When everything was new and unused Now it's a bike to a car, kite to a star Memories juxtaposed with colours of change Played too many games now I'm stuck in the maze Stay or escape, it's one and the same No matter what, coming of age means running away I don't want to let go I don't want to let go I don't want to let go Not yet I don't want to let go I don't want to let go But I gotta let go First Steps Well now that momentum is on my side I'm ready to walk I'll leave my tracks on the globe Like footprints in the snow Now my cold feet are warm I don't want to let go I don't want to let go I don't want to let go Not yet I don't want to let go I don't want to let go But I gotta let go First Steps I don't want to let go I don't want to let go I don't want to let go Not yet But I'm ready to go I am ready to go I am ready to go First Steps
