Thursday Afternoon Please let me see the false that my ego denies me Don't let me grow so tall that I forget the ground beneath me Don't let me forget that satisfaction has no friends That glory's only fading, already gone
I've wasted so much time I've wasted so much time I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to keep it straight in my mind
Don't let me think it's love, when it's only just obsession I've spent so many nights punching that wall Show me the difference between decision and denial I want to know why I ask why
I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to get it straight in my mind I'm trying to keep myself in check
I'm trying to keep myself in check So tired of regret
Let me see my confusion for exactly what it is Don't let me make my rage a tool of regret Allow me to sidestep my frustration and hostility And the violence that comes to me so easily Too easily
I've wasted so much time I've wasted so much time
I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to get it straight I'm trying to get it straight in my mind I'm trying to keep myself together Struggling, struggling, struggling Winning and losing, yeah!
