Mess

Somebody get me out this mess I'm in

See I've been tryin' to do the best I can

But I keep on stumblin' over and over again

I ain't got no more excuses for ya

All that I can say is sorry

Won't you please come rescue me as quickly as you can

It's crazy how far we go

Just to put a little gas in our ego

That's what happens when your self esteem is low

We'll do anything to get people to notice us I know

It's tough but hey, imagine us throwin' our lives away

Because we're listenin' to the voice inside that chants

Says we'll never be significant if we can't

Fit in so we get into all kinds of trouble tryin' to be somebody we're not

Since in the beginning we've been givin' into the lie that says that we got

To keep up with the Jones's or get left behind

So we end up in debt tryin' to catch up it's messed up

'Cause ten years from now we can't press rewind

I want to invest in what stands the test of time

Chorus

I'm so sick and tired of being down and out

Tryin' to do what's right but wrong keeps comin out

I keep on tryin to write but songs ain't comin out

Plus now I'm getting older and time is runnin out I know,

Growth's a process but I can't see my progress

And I'm startin' to feel that my labor's in vain

So I hold on to the promise instead of my problems

Otherwise this stress is gonna drive me insane

Yes there's more to life than workin' 9 to 5

Buyin' things that make you feel fuzzy inside

I tried it and it worked at first for five minutes

But left me in the cold to hang like icicles oh!

Now I'm froze like a popsicle

Feel's like my mission's impossible

I'm stuck up in a maze full of obstacles

Keep on ending where I'm not supposed to go

Chorus

I just want to be okay with who I am, not have to run away

I'm so tired of trends I can't keep pretending

Playing these foolish games

Chorus
