Soles are worn out in my tennis shoes
|
Mother please carry me home
|
The process of progress is killing me (now I can't go on)
|
Someone please carry me home
|
|
And my cold feet slow me down
|
They haunt me now...
|
|
Claim to subclaim, now turn it off
|
I'm doing the best that i can
|
Act for react, now turn it off
|
I'm doing the best that i can
|
|
Could I be losing the will to walk?
|
Maybe it's time to run
|
And Madison's where I will build my name (from the bottom up)
|
Where I will work in the sun
|
|
And the science slows me down
|
But I'm free now...
|
|
Claim to subclaim, now turn it off
|
I'm doing the best that I can
|
Broken finger, now burn it off
|
I'm doing the best that I can
|
|
Shedding the smile I used to wear
|
(Left alone to my despair)
|
Learning how not to let it break my stride
|
Casting my tennis shoes aside
|
(Missing what was left behind)
|
A dead man is plotting his return tonight
|
|
Burn, let me feel the burn,
|
I'm lighting a match to all I've known
|
Think, I just want to think,
|
But this could have been a pauper's parade
|
|
Claim to subclaim, now turn it off
|
I'm doing the best that I can
|
Blood on my hands, now wash it off
|
I'm doing the best that I can
|
