Fate

I’ve been through hell and back

So many times in fact

I memorized the map

I drew that thing myself

I try to right the wrongs

I die to write the songs

I laugh at people laughing

At me saying how long

Can a fool go on?

Smash right through the ceiling

Crash down to the floor

Get back up believing

I’m good for one more

No time for retreating

Lace up for what

Fate has got in store

The king of all disgrace

Tomatoes in the face

I hear them placing bets on

A fool destined to fail

But to despair’s a sin

This clown still wears a grin

Big red shoes tripping

Towards what glory lies ahead

Stumble on

Smash right through the ceiling

Crash down to the floor

Get back up believing

I’m good for one more

No time for retreating

I got to see what

Fate has got in store

And do you actually got the goods?

For what reason do you bleed your blood?

I try not to think about it much

When you fall off the raft

Just climb back on and laugh

Advice I should have gave myself

Some years ago

This life ain’t what it seems

Between awake and dreams

Can’t shake this notion

I got someplace still to go

Down the road
