Theorys

a bit of my past comes and goes like a blast
memories that make me smile are sure not to last
i cast my fortune on a cookie half baked
knowing it will take me to my damn wake
i pretend not to notice im standing on the ledge
a little too close to the edge
i pushed my limits from the time i could breathe
if living was all i had to do that i achieved
at times i catch myself regretting it all
as much as i fall i get on my knees and crawl
lovers never stick around and friends come and go
one thing im sure to carry to my grave
i ride or die through any tidal wave
i answer to one man who always understands
the plans he made for us sometimes are a bust
so isnt love when you find out its lust
a simple plan from the man who gave birth to our great land
live free or die cry a dry eye and move on!!!!!!!!!
