Mom comes in and wakes me up “Time to go to school” as my feet hit the floor
I got dressed and ate...

I was born innocent and my consciousness began,
     And from the beginning like everyone I have struggled;

Sand sifts,
My mind lifts,
The ideas of reflection,
My lack of self-protection,
Is something that haunts,
My mind which daunts,
The strength within,

Rather than beat around the bush,
Take my life into my own...

Can I take a breathe, cause it seems I need your permission. 
What about my actions, since you tend to control my description.

...First off it seemed that her husband
had no been an abusive man,
just a nebbish actually,
it was clear she had worn the pants.

She’d married him for security,
and his needs she’d most ignored,
she hadn’t strayed to seek out love,
she’d cheated because she was bored!

Deep down she’d craved...

Do you ever think about how fast your life goes by,
we do the same things all day,
experiencing the same people, the same places, and the same problems
and there are more and more problems and you feel like you're drowning?
These problems are permanent and cannot be...

My great grandfather sighed in heaven
As I told my son the story
As told by my father as he was told
About how wealthy his father was before them.

Daddy, he says, something is on my mind
You said great grandpa was rich and kind 
But he never went...
