Change lyrics

Now in these cynical times
Sterotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind

I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze

And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win

'Cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

My finger's pointing in the mirror
I'm the one now
I see my shadow in the sun dial
Am I really out of change

Put my freedom in a cage
Slow down
Man I got a son now
There's nothing new thay all said it

And I know it but I had to go throught it myself
I'm hard-headed
That's the only way I'll learn
Get caught in the fire ther's no escaping the burn

And it burns
Change this
Change that
Change is full of lies

I remain the same cat wear a good disguise
Living life looking through my third blind crooked eye
So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?

[Chorus]

I want to run but if I run I'm only running form myself
Would it be easier if I were someone else
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never beeen burned
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned

On a highway to a destinatin I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shard gla** laying on a frame of a window
That was broken by the bricks of pain

Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
I admit I'm f***ed up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned

[Chorus]
