Bad Intentions

I stand on the edge of the earth

Unsure of my footing at first

I wait for a breeze to send me down

I can't pretend I wasn't hoping just a bit

To get blown off this tower

Of broken dreams stacked up like bricks

What desperate minds do in desperate times

They make it worse most every time

Somebody stop me

'Cause I've got bad intentions

Too many to mention

Too many to mention

And I'm too slight to mention

Baby, I'd be a peasant

If I was paid in attention

I wonder if I'll ever go home

I start to see everybody I know

As I feel the breeze picking up

If I had the courage, I'd gather all my stuff and split

But I'm just a coward, steel and cold like a monument

What fragile minds do in fragile times

They make it worse most every time

Somebody stop me

'Cause I've got bad intentions

Too many to mention

Too many to mention

And I'm too slight to mention

Baby, I'd be a peasant

If I was paid in attention

I think I should finally get myself up off the ground

In time, I'll have this whole thing figured out

Maybe I can finally make a move towards better days

Maybe this time things will finally change

But selfish minds do what they like

Somebody stop me

I've got bad intentions

Too many to mention

Too many to mention

And I'm too slight to mention

Baby, I'd be a peasant

If I was paid in attention
