A change of scene, a change of pace now I need
Chasing, these stories I just half believe
A chance to breathe, to find my focus and think
Cheers me, thoughts coming faster than words
I tell myself tomorrow be a brighter day
The clock turns five, now I should put this mind to rest
But when they cut the payments that keep your lights on
When they have you waiting weeks on end
My hair’s withered they slowly kill my appetite
Holding nothing but this trust in my hands
When they cut the payments, your one way day pass
When they have you waiting, weeks on end
They’ll show their colors their intimidation currency
Just enough to make me feel so small
A change of dress, feel like a piece of success
Chasing, my people down for pennies and dimes
A chance to see, bring on my own reality
Cheers me, lunch with a side of fantasy
Let’s hope this journal entry
Just for a moment calms me
I tell myself tomorrow be a brighter day
But when they cut the payments, that keep your lights on
When they have you waiting, weeks on end
My head’s pounding, boiling blood rushing through my veins
Holding nothing but this trust in my hands
When they cut the payments, your one-way day pass
When they have you waiting, weeks on end
They’ll show their colors their intimidation currency
Holding nothing but this trust in my hands
Holding nothing but this trust in my hands
Holding nothing but this trust in my hands
