Solid Ground

I don't want you to worry, this is what I wanted

Don't make me feel bad by being sad, just know that I'm better now

And I want the people who had a hand in this hell

To know what they've done, and know it as well as I have

It's not giving up, it's realizing you've lost, and being smart enough to see the future

It's knowing yourself and the world you're put in and knowing as well the forecasts for change

I think of myself because no one else ever did, and I think I deserve to now, for once in my life, get what I wanted

I don't think it's fair to play out this hand when I know how it's gonna end

I didn't ask for this, I didn't ask to be here, don't force me to sit in these flames forever

I want to leave from here, pack all my hunting gear, so much for changing the world

So much for the boy who said I'm gonna make something out of myself, I'm gonna learn how to be happy

And let everyone else feel the same

I won't have to worry, I won't have to cry, I won't have to run around this circle a hundredth time

I'll leave in the morning, just before dawn, to get one more to see just what I've done

And how I saw myself climbing out of this hole and up the mountains

And now I see that I'm buried under a metal house, it's time to come crawling out, waving my flag and then, sleeping on solid ground
