Lyrics

So many thoughts, so many rhymes, so many words, so many times
I have wondered what I done wrong?
Push it out, peel it back, give it up, crawl on out of my slumber and now I'm done
Flipping out and all I hear are the singing of bluebirds and I feel fine

I am aligned for this has been granted
Circles in time, no longer stranded.

So many times I've opened up the door hoping you would come on in and ask for me
What have I done wrong?
Through the piles of ignorance I've sent the stage and nothing else has happened since
Who have you become?
Maybe I held on too tight, maybe I didn't even care what I came here for
When I saw the ripples and tears in the floorboard I said that I'm done keeping score

I am aligned for this has been granted
People of mine, no longer slanted.

I hear those bluebirds tiptoe tin roof they're singing again. Yeah, they're singing again.
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn't last
Don't let it take you it's just waiting to break you.
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn't last
Yeah, I am aligned
All the bitterness stuck in the past all the lies you know wouldn't last
I am aligned
