Just as my mind is whirlin’ outta control,
Comes another crash, that stings my soul.
Well I just have to say, ain’t life unkind.
You think your close, then fall 3 steps behind.

So another ordinary day just like the past
Gettin things done, just kickin my ass.
Another endless day, no word in sight.
Feels like tomorrow will be right or might.

Then I realized, fate is always plottin’,
it removed the Jenga piece from the bottom.
I saw my life start to swagger and sway,
And all my assurance was washed away.

Now the bright path has grown quite dim.
So surprised myself how it rests on him.
Why do I do this? my insides wail.
Pour all that shit, back on the scale.

Have to always go with what I had said,
It’s only for me, it’s on my head.
So if things screw up, them I’m to blame.
Never bow down or hang my head in shame.

I hear the clock tick, I wonder what’s in store.
Should I move ahead, or will there be more.
Will you go, as I’m scared you might.
Or stand firm, and hold on tight.

Just need to know, Just need to see.
Will it be you that’s there for me.
Just want to try, Just want to scream
Is this the nightmare or is it the dream?
