[Verse]
I can never really seem to get why,
Why I let these opportunities pass me by.

Who knows,
What I forgo just for being shy.
Real life reference:

It's me and a few friends,
Out to eat on the weekend,
A beautiful waitress with porcelain skin,

Instead of telling her these thoughts decide to keep em in.
So I walk away my head heavy with contempt.
Can't believe my own lack of intent would prevent,

Any potential from this infinitely random event.
Who knows maybe she thought the same thing on her end.
Maybe she went home and had to vent,

Filled with words she wish SHE would have said.
Instead, we're half dead,
content with simply sitting.

fearing failures thinking no one will be forgiving.
Its time to begin really living.


[Chorus]
Stop the press, everything's a mess.
You can look alive, but you are not at rest.

And ideas are flowing through your head,
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed.
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead.

Are you working everyday,
are you working just to bleed?
I know.


[Verse]
If only you could understand I'm not your average guy.

You're used to being used,
Too confused to even give honesty a try.
But I despise taking comfort in a lie,

Seems its mostly emptiness on which we rely.
I swear this %#@! almost makes me wanna cry,
So much has been compromised.

But don't worry, the revolution will be televised.
For I've uncovered these eyes,
And got them open wide.

Woke up my sleeping mind,
It's time to look alive.
Please get me outside,

So I can try again,
In fact I'll out-try anyone who thinks they can contend.
I missed my chance earlier but soon will make amends.

I hope this is making sense,
This whopping wisdom which I dispense.
So I guess its settled then,

My hesitation resignation is what I'm sending in,
Any second thoughts, I'm condemning them.


[Chorus]
