Words

I'm tired of trying to fit in
 because i keeping adding 
 but one and one don't add up
 so i take the three and my doubt
 enter a letter and make it alright
 and when i feel blue i'll make it all black
 because i can't go back to where i belong
 it's been so long i hope you are still strong
 i thought i could hold out this winters long
 but the summer seems to be draging on out
it's not the sum of every man i worried about
just the day that we all may have to move out
 leather and hardbacks all give me their doubts
and everywhere i look sell me out of my ways
 sayin i am a wicked man for understanding
 but i don't understand the way of Babylon
and all the proverbs and shurahs call
but they re just caved up words                                                                               
lost to there own faulty ways
that makes a man to sin
in ways we dont belong
