[Hook]
Always looking for a hand out, afraid to give a shout out
Never know how it will turn out, It's best if I just hide out
New places I should check out, sometimes it ends in strike out
Hard to keep from burnout, save face don't be a sell out
[Verse 1]
Forever I just hold on, to dreams that never fade
Trapped in an illusion, from truth I've often strayed
Tough times so many, I may never make the grade
Ridicule and shame, I'm pierced by their shade
Escape from eyes, that know not what I've paid
Knowing what comes next, is nothing I would trade
No questions no answers, no values to be weighed
Black out comes so quick, no decision is even made
Mere seconds before, the breakout doesn't delay
Quick action is often needed, no need to persuade
Accomplish the most, never leave chances decay
Treasured reward not in focus, a goal without barricade
[Hook]
Always looking for a hand out, afraid to give a shout out
Never know how it will turn out, It's best if I just hide out
New places I should check out, sometimes it ends in strike out
Hard to keep from burnout, save face don't be a sell out
[Verse 2]
Infinite looping in my head, no future I'm just trapped
Racing to a lofty goal, my achievements always capped
Hidden deep within my shell, not ever making contact
Concepts clear to many, I just consider abstract
Contributions that are offered, never have an impact
Hallucinating hard to tell, maybe I've just snapped
Adding scenes to fill a void, making my life packed
With sorrow and pain so real, feeling I've been slapped
All energy soon depleted, all drive entirely tapped
Repeated blows eventually, result in feeling sacked
Take away the clouds and mist, freedom and unwrapped
Helping truth to brightly shine, allow hopefulness to invade
[Hook]
Always looking for a hand out, afraid to give a shout out
Never know how it will turn out, It's best if I just hide out
New places I should check out, sometimes it ends in strike out
Hard to keep from burnout, save face don't be a sell out
[Verse 3]
Keep them all amused, while I plan an escape
All of our heroes, don't always wear a cape
Glad and lucky, I avoid a near scrape
Check out all the details, view the full landscape
Wisely use your talents, to accomplish a reshape
Voices they won't stop, I can't pause that tape
Some judging me to be, a little too risque
At times so hard to accept, I just look away
My deepest thoughts, on full display
Could there even be some foul play?
Shall I face my fears, or just run away
Darkness and confusion, my most dreaded day
[Hook]
Always looking for a hand out, afraid to give a shout out
Never know how it will turn out, It's best if I just hide out
New places I should check out, sometimes it ends in strike out
Hard to keep from burnout, save face don't be a sell out
