Nothing There For Me

Give me a minute,

I'm rigid, twisted within it.

Bear and grin it.

My digits they start to fidget when I spit it. Innit?

I need a gimmick,

A trick to keep me from quitting,

I'm quickly reaching my limit,

All this tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick ticking.

Everybody's got a plan but me.

Their road maps at hand, understandably,

My parents caring, incoherent, but apparently,

This lack of planning demanding the kind of man that I'll be.

You want my answers now?

Guess I'm the bad news bearer.

I'm feeling flightless with my head in the Sahara, and uh,

I wouldn't care if you were fairer,

So I dare you, be aware of the terror,

My fear of error forever.

Don't make me carry your vicarious,

Wishes and whims.

Your expectations are hilarious.

How'm I s'posed to win?

Why won't you throw me a bone?

I know you don't like my tone.

You want my ten year plan,

And you want it in stone.

Sometimes I feel all alone,

'Cause when you ask where I'm going?

I know I'm letting you down,

When I say...I don't know

I know You got me,

You got me this far, You sought me.

You thought of me 'fore they brought me,

To this world that's trying to stop me.

Need corrective perspective,

I'm disconnected,

Feeling wrecked,

And I'm in need of direction,

And some reflection of Your letter.

For You know the plans You have for me.

Road map with plans to prosper me.

With a promise of hope,

A future paved like a road,

Devoid of harm, Lord please just set me free!

Your Word's a lamp for my feet,

A light for my path.

Take the lead.

I might have a need for You by my side.

I'll abide in You like a guide.

When I feel the pressure building,

The feeling of lowered ceilings,

When it brings me to my knees,

And I really need nerves of steel,

I'm gonna seek you first,

And the Kingdom that You reign.

I've got no fight with this,

Your righteousness,

Is what Imma aim.

For the rest will come along,

It's the chorus of this song,

And if I follow in your footsteps,

Don't think I can go wrong. Right?
