Across Five Years

Boy Sets Fire

i said i'm crazy one more time

picked up the phone and wondered why

so many years of hidden dreams

pushed down too far to ever win



locked doors

and hidden ghosts

denied myself with every joke

this was not me

this could never be me



remembering so many times

so many lies so many lies

ran so fast the years passed blind

so much time lost killing five



locked doors

and hidden ghosts

denied myself with every joke

this is not me

this could never be me



whatever poison you may drink

another list of "no's" persist

antique and out of reach

i lose my life and take it back

crashed this side of happiness

hit the floor or hit and miss

without the strength to follow through

walked right past this life in you



just one more kiss

just one more chance

just one more life

of circumstance

just one more call

taking a chance

on circumstance
