Best Intentions

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Every now and then I wanna feel the escape

When the depression sets in and my spirit breaks

And I go out hunting demons and they make me beg

Got me pissing in the wind, down my own damn leg

If God wrote a book 'bout everything that he's done

I'd go searching for my name, now wouldn't every one?

And you can tell me point-blank that I'm a narcissist

I'm just needing confirmation that I exist

Please don't read my mind

I'm so scared of what you'll find

I haven't left it all behind

So much hate 'cause of all the hurt

No idea what I'm really worth

I'm holding out for peace and air time

You have to understand that my intentions are good

And everything I do I do for love

I got two little souls and I love them, man

That I'm trying to lead to the promised land

We take ego trips out to the country side

Got a big old house where we reside

And there's a big old boy with a big old gun

Stays up all night in case the weirdos come

I had a job but I resigned

Then I had a change of mind

I will again if I'm inclined

Another moan from a millionaire

I don't know why I'm telling you 'cause you don't care

I'm holding out for peace and air time

I'm a little bit older but not wiser still

I was smoking marijuana, taking sleeping pills

But I get up in the morning, take the kids to school

And my other indiscretions are so miniscule

And I really pray to God it stays that way

'Cause deep inside I think I'm still hurting

When you take your chances and you ride your luck

All you're really saying is 'I could fuck this up'

You have to understand that my intentions are good

And everything I do I do for love

I made a ton of mistakes, it's either fight or flight

But every now and then

I kinda get it right

(He kinda gets it right)

I kinda get it right

(He kinda gets it right)
