I think I'm in my Twenties now It all goes down from here, so they say So I tried, to dream the truth away And now that I'm awake Here I am, back Upstate Now I'm back to the place where, by design I'm automatically identified Suburbia loves to use you As a poor excuse to say We're making progress But I want the past behind me So you could not try and find me I desire nothing more Than to deny I and restore Any lingering privacy Write a couple hits, make a profit And leave the citizen out of it But I'm back at it with my bad habits Is this progress or a chordal regression? Goddamn it, can't a song stay vapid With no concept of deleting the addict? Trading green for a little caffeine Didn't save me, only deepened extremes I can't keep documenting like this: A self-absorbed guilt-trip So what do I tell my friends (What do I tell my friends?) What do I tell my family (What do I tell my family?) What do I tell Facebook (What to tell Mark Zuckerberg?) How I let my dream go, let me speak To you, the mass communion of my past That said my future is absolute I can only disappoint thee Cuz I've not yet done my duty To you I couldn't change the way I thought I could Maybe I really am a product of my neighborhood Maybe I really am every other man Driven by my desires rather than the plan Who am I? Who am I? I am stuck with my lens of retrospection Where the only redemption is if I'm the hero Of the story: this tale of average tragedy Cuz I'm not what I used to be I think I'm in my twenties now I think I'm in my twenties now! Almighty Maternal Hear me out! For I envision a chorus Of 20,000 Angels Singing your praises And all it takes is Your divine touch Lord, I beg for one more chance! I know I ask too many already But I know whose name I want engraved online Baby, it's yours and it's mine Can't you see? You're already within me I gave up, I gave in Now I am what I have been I am the Wizard of this City: OZ This rendition has reached it's final revision The Gays never learn, bored at the ball May I return reborn or at all But hey, before I go I'll finish the story I started seven years ago But might this mean the end? Goddamn Sandman, I don't wanna sleep again...
