Shadowboxing

I woke up tired and feeling old
Stared at the time Sinking into my mold
I don't know why I'm pacing
Worn feet grow tired of chasing

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Believe every word you'd say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Or thaw to death with flames
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The renegades are left the rave
I guess I didn't say

My pride is gone and my hair cut short
IKEA homes, locks on every door
I've said so much, I can't find a meaning
Forever punished on this crutch
That keeps me from kneeling

Everything I'd ever wanted, yeah, I got it
Until my feet touched the ground
Now just a broken man singing 'bout his broken back
To brick walls who don't hear the sound

Waiting in line, waiting in line
As if by waiting I could jump to the front
Never arrive, never arrive
The door closed shut, yeah the door closed shut

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Believed every word you'd say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oil soaked, we danced with flames
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The renegades all left the rave
And I guess I did the same na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na
I reach for escape
