V1 :11
Honeymoon of life is over,
tiger's tired and shown it's stripes.
Never know which way that I'm goin',
history's weight preyin' on my mind.   :24
Ch1 :25
Life at times can be kind of a nightmare,
never walking on solid ground.
Though I try, can't deny that I might care
every step, gettin' tossed and bound.   :40
V2 :41
Never thinkin' that I could end it,
givin' up's not the way I'm raised.
Suicide's just a message sent that
says  a quitter has gone away.   :55
Ch2 :56
Struggle, fight, for my life of survival,
key to my happiness all around.
Past a prime, I'm entwined in a spiral:
just gettin' by while I'm tossed and bound.  1:10
V3 1:11
I just keep on rollin' down it,
bottom less rock is falling out.
Happiness never much of a habit,
sadly enough, I've been lost in a cloud.   1:25
Interlude: 1:26
Turn me up, turn me down, turn me sideways:
tossin' about in reality.
Outta' luck, not allowed through it my way,
thoughts spun around functionality.    1:41
Troubles get me tossed around...
money keeps my wallet bound.   
Can't deny, I'm tossed and bound.   2:08
V4 2:11
Kinda' sad it never happened,
truth is often a bitter pill.
Youthful thoughts of a life of magic
found a path that is haunting me still.   2:25
Br 2:29
It's haunting me now... .
Tossed and bound, I 
think I found it...
but my time has run out.   2:40
OUTRO: 2:41
Kinda' tied to a life of illusion,
gotta' make use of it every day.
Peace of mind bound in practical uses
getting to be a confusing game.
If I dream, I'll be ok.   3:03
