UNDERRATED By Tom Jensen
Everything has changed and yet nothing
Has changed since we last spoke
For what I once yearned the candle has burned
Now there's nothing left but smoke
Pages I have written in secret inscription
Been set afire see their ashes blow
So simply stated nothing's worse than saying
Well I guess I almost made it
Reality has conquered me
So I've left this dream behind
My fate, my destiny
Awaits in another place and time
So simply stated
These years bled away
Cannot be turnicated
Reality has conquered me
I've left this dream behind
My fate, my destiny
Awaits in another place and time
Now the clock's hands keep spinning
And I've wasted so much time
Find myself a victim to all I've created
Feeling so jaded I can't relax or unwind
I've failed myself now I'm really in a bind
For what I once yearned
The candle has burned
Now there's nothing left but smoke
Pages I have written in secret inscription
Light this fire see their ashes blow
So simply stated nothing's worse than saying
Well I guess I almost made it
I've been led astray
But perhaps it's better this way
Maybe it's better to be blind
Than the one who can see
His path illuminated
Who walked the road yet never made it
So if anyone asks me I'd have to agree
That giving up is underrated
Ooh... it's underrated
