Flicker

I'm not sure I drew it up this way I'm not sure this was the plan I burn both ends of my days Then collapse into the ash I'm screaming at the sunrise And I'm dreaming of the night I bought a front row ticket To this thing I call my life Well no body ever told me That the decks are stacked against Somebody must have sold me on we're born to pay the rent If the world is my own playground Why's it so hard to get right? I've been bouncing on this seesaw And the future don't look bright Is this journey just for one? Do I face it all alone? Make a left just past the sun And head on straight for home I'm begging the conductor Man, you got to stop this ride But there's still a little flicker And there's still a lot of fight So many have the answers Yeah so many know it all They are the puppet masters And they got their crystal balls No, I think they're like the rest of us They're just blinded by their pride They're wearing masks of comedy With the tragedy inside Is this journey just for one? Do I face it all alone? Make a left just past the sun And head on straight for home I'm begging the conductor Man, You got to stop this ride But there's still a little flicker And there's still a lot of fight If the past is my great teacher Then the present is my friend I spent my whole life reaching And trying to make amends Was it fate or was it destiny Am I the victim of circumstance? Has every single thing I've done All been left to chance? Is this journey just for one? Do I face it all alone? Make a left just past the sun And head on straight for home I'm begging the conductor Man you got to stop this ride But there's still a little flicker And there's still a lot of fight Yeah there's still a little flicker And there's still a lot of fight Yeah there's still a little flicker And there's still a lot of fight
