Cocaine and Abel

The distance from the man that I am to the man I want to be

The time it takes to realize that time is the distance I need

But I was born impatient and I was born unkind

But I refuse to believe I have to be the same person I was born when I die

Change is alright

Change is alright

I'm not proud of all the choices I've made for a lot of my life

Following the shadow when I damn well know that behind me is the light

But I've lied to my mother

I've made people feel like hell

But I refuse to believe I have to keep being cruel because I'm a coward myself

Time isn't patience

No, patience takes time

Excuses will only do good if you're waiting around to die

Everyone is born with self worth

How easily it turns to doubt

It takes letting go of what we know we can't live without

But the blood in the water

Is the blood of my brother

We both learned it didn't mean a thing in the end if one was thicker than the other

And I've tried having faith

But I'll rot like a dove

'Cause I've always been scared of loving someone just a little bit more than I'm loved

Losing is fine

Everything is fine
