Hey kid I watched you grow up

And boy you've never changed

And what you only seem to care is what stars did with their name

You read books and watched T.V

And got good grades despite

My mind spun in all directions figuring out what's right

And with the only light I had you closed the door I choose

And with the only weapon I had you dulled the blade I use

But with both hands and my body's traction

I think it will be alright

Rats are the first to leave the ship when it's sinking and it's not sight

I thought too much about it and regret the choices I made

Now I'm always cautious will my actions repeat

The soles in my two-year-old shoes were running out of spring

Every single step I make it does the same damn thing

And with the only light I had you closed the door I choose

And with the only weapon I had you dulled the blade I use

But with both hands and my body's traction I think it will be alright

Rats are the first to leave the ship when it's sinking and it's not sight
