Through kaleidoscope eyes
I see the troubled times
Yet I focus on myself
Cause I can't help nobody else
Besides those near to me
Those dear to me
Who pull me up
When I cut myself back down
Oh back down
And what a hypocrite I am
To hope I never bury a friend
And yet when it comes to me
It ain't so clear
But if I try just one more time
Maybe my record they'll rewind
And if I try just one more time
Maybe this song they'll sing a line
And if I try just one more time
In this music they will find
Some peace of mind
Within these times
Fear of discipline is so
Hypocritical
When I work five days a week
And I clock in and out repeat
Yet when I'm home I waste away
As if tomorrow will be the day
I change my ways
Oh my ways
Fear of judgement just seems so
Hypocritical
When I hate the songs I've sung
Then judge you and everyone
Cut me down oh they will try
But it's me who makes me cry
And oh I try
To see the signs
Fear of death just seems so
Hypocritical
When I got nicotine in my lungs
Thoughts of purchasing a gun
But if I try just one more time
Maybe my record they'll rewind
And if I try just one more time
Maybe this song they'll sing a line
And if I try just one more time
In this music they will find
Some peace of mind
Within these times
