Now you think that you could be the something that I could see

So why don't you just look at me and tell me that you're going free

Yeaaahhh

All I said that you would find is what it is that's on your mind

You will crack and very soon your guitar will slip out of tune

Now you've found out at long last that things are going way too fast

Well in my case I guess that's tough cause things aren't going fast enough

Chips are down speaking choking the d/b too hot

The mold is broken what it is what I said was left better unspoken

Speed not my command when you're knocked down

You will not stand my fortunes told

And it's been cast and you'll be left in the past
