about

Help and hope come from inside.

lyrics

I'm peeling labels from the bottles of medicine.
Half a liter later, I'll lose track of where I been
I'm telling stories 'bout the stories I've always told.
I'm at the corner pouring quarters in the telephone.
It always hits me in the nighttime that I live alone.
I'm calling friends in California where the sun's still shining.

But when the opportunity arises.
Void of all restrictions and surprises.
I will beat my chest, and stand up tall with all my best intentions
all lined up on my sleeve.

I'm breaking deals with the shadows I've been living in.
I'm giving up on knowing how it feels to give in.
I'm realizing that horizon is just a line.
I'm calling doctors for a refill on my self-esteem.
I'm calling stations ordering up tanks of gasoline.
I'm setting fire to the liars that have brought us down.

But when the opportunity arises.
Void of all restrictions and surprises.
I will beat my chest, and stand up tall with all my best intentions
all lined up on my sleeve.
