CHANGE by Tom Jensen
I’m awoken
Not broken
I was toking
Listening to Joe Rogan
Wondering how long until he’s calling for me to be coming on his show
I’m just trying to get noticed
But nobody knows this
So many magnifying glasses out there
Yet where are they focused?
At others not on yourself
So you really think that’s gonna help?
Free your mind from bad thoughts
That be plaguing like they’re locusts
Oh...it’s a slow death
That so many live
Sad ‘bout what they didn’t give
But tell me who benefits?
Those who do the opposite
Of everything that they say
Mother fucking hypocrites
Especially on election day!
Five fingers slowly closing
And about to form a fist
Relax, don’t relapse, resist
Close your eyes, look inside, believe this:
I can do better than I’m doing now
I can pull myself up some way; somehow
The circle’s been spiraling out of control
As I’m deep in doubt of everything that I know
With my past as my compass
I left and now I’ve returned
To scorched earth and bridges burned
Hey, they say nothing ventured nothing learned
And now I’m running out of places to go
There’s not many left to call friend or foe
And I’m running out of directions I have yet to face
Even inside my soul no longer seems like such a safe place…
Running out of answers, excuses, people to blame
I’m hiding under the covers whenever I hear my own name
I’m starting to think I’m never gonna get back to where I once was again
Seems I’m gonna have to change my game rather than cling to that same old refrain
