I'm not complaining anymore
The past leaves a scar that is still so sore
When you did that I knew we were never more
It's just that I feel so hollow at the core,

Life brings us all this change
It's our job to adapt and rearrange
But when existence becomes too strange
When life becomes a prisoner exchange,

You find just how expendable we all are
All of us behind invisible bars
As Fathers as wives as children no stars
On a hot summer's day like a dog in a car,

We all have unique observations on life
It will carve you up just like a knife
And just when you think you've overcome the strife
Do you really want to risk having another wife?

Home wreckers rationalize with blame
They have no problem forgetting your name
Walking out on you it's all the same
We can never go back from where we came,

I never really knew you I know now
Listened to your drivel like a sacred cow
Dealt with your acid tongue like a leopard's growl
Now I live life my life stuck like I rusted plow

On the world's stage I've taken my bow 
Yet, I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel
At those rare social occasions, I merely prowl
But deep inside I want to let out a werewolves howl,

With some solace within the Lord's prayer
Sometimes I'll admit to the thousand-yard stare
A desperate animal caught and trapped in a snare
Should I chew off my leg and leave it there?

Oh tell me Dear did you ever really care?
Could there be intelligent life anywhere?
Instead of just kicking this old gray mare
Another near miss what a scare.
