Left 2 Chance

This bruised ego will struggle to find a place
One that feels like home
I'm sick of shadows how do they keep pace with me
I need some time to be alone
Not always what I need but all my things feel misplaced
Don't want to step on toes
If I could lie here and bleed to feel a warm embrace
Watch in wonder as the red flows

I need to move
So these ghost can't catch up
I can't assume
It's anything but bad luck
Some are just dealt an awful hand
Despite all their effort can't get ahead
Spinning gears with a thousand plans
But you might be better off if you're left to chance

Watching my step to keep from trippin
How can I manage to carry on
Matter of time before I slip in
And get lost in oblivion
Wanting to tell the world where they can stick it
I know I'm burning bridges lately
Yet somehow I still wish that I could fit in
Lost in my emotional fixes

I need to move
So these ghost can't catch up
I can't assume
It's anything but bad luck
Some are just dealt an awful hand
Despite all their effort can't get ahead
Spinning gears with a thousand plans
But you might be better off if you're left to chance

You tell me to push through
As if I've done anything else
How many times must I prove
The irony in my self-defense
This stress is surely killing me
Depressing how every minute moves the less I care
Investing this effort can be quite exhausting
I might give up before I win
I may be progressing ever so slightly
Don't worry the gas is on empty I can't
But nevertheless I'm failing

I need to move
So these ghost can't catch up
Woah
I can't assume
It's anything but bad luck
Some are just dealt an awful hand
Despite all their effort can't get ahead
Spinning gears with a thousand plans
You might be better off if you're left to chance
Left to chance
Left to chance
Left to chance
