Crossed Wires

(album: Crank - 1994)

Spread out your wings, let's see you fly
What does it take to get you high?
Not something money ever buys
Damage control is bought to bear
With cracks appearing everywhere
You're too far gone to even care

You're in a mind set
You've got your wires crossed
Are even these words lost on you? (oh, yeah)

One of these days I hope you learn
How candles are supposed to burn
You act as if that's no concern (of yours)

You've taken a wrong turn
You're stuck in a tailspin
What good has your life been to you? (oh, yeah)

How can you shake your head (oh, yeah)
But when you wake up dead
Will that do you?
Could that cure you? (oh yeah)
And all your friends say (oh, yeah)
"It had to end this way"
You couldn't face it
Was all wasted on you
Nothing they could do

There has to be a better way
To make believe that you're o.k
You're not the first to be afraid
There is no shame (aren't you afraid?)
