Fragments of my bursted mind scattered on their own

Refracting back my intent beneath the skin and bone

Are buried with the fossils and left their on their own



I held a fortune in my hand it used to shine like gold

But I forgot what value meant when I did what I was told

My riches turned to worthless sand my fingers couldn’t hold



When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game

It’s easy to forget from where you came

The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray

Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way



I saw a man in my backyard he held a wooden sign

He told me to come out there he had something that was mine

He said we both could have freedom that’s when I shut the blinds



I met a girl the other day she loved a rundown man

She said she had no worries he does the best he can

But I said I could do better that’s when she let go of my hand



When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game

It’s easy to forget from where you came

The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray

Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way



I sat down at the table to write down my final thoughts

My pen couldn’t ink a word it seems that I forgot

What it is I needed and everything I want



When opportunities rise and it’s all fair game

It’s easy to forget from where you came

The sky is a deep blue but to you it’s just gray

Things you wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t in your way
