ROLLINS BAND - THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Please let me see the faults that my ego denies me,
don't let me grow so tall that I forget the ground beneath me,
don't let me forget that satisfaction has no friends,
that glory always fleeting, already gone.

I've wasted so much time, I've wasted so much time.

I'm trying to get it straight, I'm trying to get it straight,
I'm trying to keep it straight in my mind.

Don't let me think it's love when it's only just obsession,
I spent so many nights punching that wall,
show me the difference between decision and denial,
I wanna know why I ask why.

I'm trying to get it straight, I'm trying to get it straight,
I'm trying to keep it straight in my mind.

I'm trying to keep myself in check, I'm trying to keep myself in check,
so tired of regret.

Let me see confusion for exactly what it is,
don't let me make my rage a tune of regret,
allow me to side step my frustration and hostility,
and the violence that comes to me so easily to easily.

I've wasted so much time, I've wasted so much time.

I'm trying to get it straight, I'm trying to get it straight,
I'm trying to get it straight in my mind,
I'm trying to keep myself together,
struggling, struggling, struggling, when did they lose it.
