[Verse 1: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

I know I should have stopped it

Any other day I'd know better

But now I'm laid out on the floor

I know I kinda dropped it

Should have written it down in a letter

But now there's one foot out the door

[Chorus 1: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

All the words in disarray

Lost in translation

Errors just replay


[Verse 2: Nick Hexum & Doug "SA" Martinez]

I didn't know it was like that

Left field, way off of center

And now there's just one great divide

There's no doubt, wait, strike that

All conversation is splintered

Oh well, oh hell, at least I tried

[Chorus 2: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

All the thoughts I can't relay

Have no explanation

Defects just display

[Bridge: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

Spell-checked, streamlined, clarified

Cut, copied, pasted, and erased it

But I replaced it

Outlined, researched, summarized

Paraphrased, arranged, and then deleted

Now I'm defeated

[Chorus 3: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

Good intentions gone astray

Locked in frustration

Plot lines in decay
