Minds Like Hammers, Hands Like Nails

A song I wrote for a friend and his band.

I'm waiting for the day to come
When we just say no to growing up
Spend a little less time catching up on news
And wearing out the soles of another man's shoes
I'm waiting on you to say
That we could try to make it back
To where we used to be, we'll cover our tracks
And we could learn to keep our hormones in check
But it's not that easy is it?
When you get that close to somebody
You don't know exactly what or how to feel
Isn't it surreal?
But would you take it all back for a day or so?
To regain control of the conscience that you abandoned by the road?
Or would you look me in the eyes the way you have for all these years
And still mean it the same way?
Do we ever change?
I'm waiting for the day to come 
When I finally know where it is that I want to go
Instead of crossing off colored lines on a fading map
This ain't the life of a rolling stone
Just the product of complacency between a rock and a hard place
And honest to God, you're the only one keeping me on my feet
Waking me up to a silver lining rather than living on the street
But would you take it all back for a day or so?
To regain control of the conscience that you abandoned by the road?
Or would you look me in the eyes the way you have for all these years
And still mean it the same way?
Do we ever change?
No we don't.

''Waking me up to a silver lining rather than living on the street ''

I very much enjoyed this specific line. Also, your introduction hooked me in, as an intro should. I knew I'd read till the end, and get to enjoy your witty remarks on today's world, which you nail.

Well done. I will look out for more !
