Before you’re pointing at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
Nothings come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cuz I will knock you down

Some days it seems not worth it
The fight in me is all gone
And I’m not trying to be perfect
But get just one damn thing done
Before I lose control
I pick myself off the floor

Never come a day that I solve you
Consequently I could never leave you
If a shadow of those living battleships
I love our canoe
I’m ready for the falls

Oh, there’s a clock in my head
And despite what it says
There’s another one on the wall
They don’t agree at all
And there’s a schism in me
And despite what you see
You might see me as calm
But I go off like a bomb

Oh, in the comfort of strangers
You don’t see the danger
Of just letting it flow
This I know
(do random pick slides w/ delay during this verse)

Before you’re pointing at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
Nothings come easily
So don’t you tread on me
Cuz I will knock you down
