Don't Count Me Out

But why, I ask, for what purpose? The redundance of excuse has been more than bared. No more with your dance of deception through the shadows of the moonlight No more the holding of claims to that which is not yours, for I am free... Lend me your ears I've got something to say You can miss tomorrow's contingencies when stuck on yesterday I did not create the game but I, I came to play And I'm in it for the long haul and I'm going all the way You've got to find happiness the only thing you're born with is innocence I've been like this ever since I lost my bliss in 96' I take the shots but sometimes I miss I crawled up out of the abyss and I wound up like this You can be just like me, you can be just like me When it comes to problems everybody has them And I'm known to get lost inside my own sarcasm But the people tend to focus on what they have or not Never taking time to appreciate what they got Read between the lines much of what you see is disguised It's easy to be blinded by the little white lies they're hiding It's sad you turned yourself into what you hated But you're always gonna fear the monsters you created I was gonna tell you something but from my mind it flees Do what it takes to set your mind at ease You should always give back a little more than you took And you change the way you look at life to change how life looks You can be just like me Lost but now I see Dropped them chains off of me You can be just like me Here I come, don't count me out
