Kicking The Can

Caught in the middle, bewildered and incomplete
It's harder now, harder to compete
When the fear of being no-one, distorts your will to try
I can't relate to no-one, for no-one are my eyes
It used to be so easy, no pressure and no pain
Now they all catch up, can't you see my scars of shame?
They threat of real life, makes it hard to concentrate
Maybe you'll understand, why I like to live in hate
Now I realize that nothing have I done

Chasing your tail is a futile thing to do
Been dizzy for so long now, that it seems the thing to do
Yet when I think I'm close enough, and I seem to have a grasp
It slips through my fingers and kicks me in the ass
Now I realize that nothing have I done

Take me away
Take me back to my castle in the trees
Take me away
Now it's too late, it's too late
for me

Standing in the shadows, time's gun at my back
Trying to make something out of nothing, pull the white from the black
The grass is always greener, greener on the other side
Makes me wonder why we bother, it all shrivels up and dies
Now I realize that nothing have I done

Take me away
Take me back to my castle in the trees
Take me away
Now it's too late, it's too late
for me
