Middling Around

(album: Protection - 2016)

I don't know what to tell you,
I know it's probably unfair.
You've got to be willing to open your eyes,
And see for yourself,
You probably don't have a prayer.

I've been trying to tell you,
Not sure if you're aware.
Everyone's trying to take all they can,
You barely exist,
You probably don't have a prayer.

I hope you weren't counting on someone to show you the way.

Are you telling me nobody cares at all?
Don't ask me to say that you're wrong,
You're probably safe in the middle right where you belong.

I've got something to tell you,
There's no need to despair.
You've got to be willing to be more than present,
And ready to bleed,
You probably don't have a prayer.

I hope you weren't counting on someone to show you the way.

Are you telling me nobody cares at all?
Don't ask me to say that you're wrong,
You're probably safe in the middle right where you belong.

It's not like it's just going to happen someday,
I hope you weren't counting on someone to show you the way.

Are you telling me nobody cares at all?
Don't ask me to say that you're wrong,
You're probably safe in the middle right where you belong.
Does it seem like there's nobody there at all?
Edging outside all along,
Just get yourself back in the middle right where you belong.
