Sands of time keep running down, more days behind than left ahead A life of quiet desperation ‘til the day you wake up dead Another faceless nobody, another drone to work the hive Another nameless extra in the edges of real life Hey You Old man Who do you think you’re fooling this time Hey You Old man This ain’t your time so step aside No one needs you Don’t believe you Is this true Is this a midlife crisis Is it too late Find a new way Take your place Having a midlife crisis A shoebox of forgotten dreams, set aside just to survive You know that they won’t pay the rent, you’ve gotta keep the green alive Another day another dollar ‘nother decade has slipped by Another cog in the machine, spit out forgotten on the line Hey You Old man You’re just an old ghost that forgot to fall Hey You Old man What makes you think you’re anything at all No one needs you Don’t believe you Is this true Is this a midlife crisis? Is it too late Find a new way Take your place Having a midlife crisis Maybe it’s time to change the game, and take a chance to break the rules Let it go, hit the door, at this point, gotta know there’s nothing left to lose A lifetime pushing stone uphill to build another’s dream made real It’s time to slip the collar take back the time I let them steal I know that dusty shoebox should stay hidden on a shelf But yet what you don’t understand, is that I do this for myself Hey You Old man Who do you think you’re talking to, boy Hey You Old man What you say don’t mean anything at all I don’t need you Never asked you Welcome to My midlife crisis I can’t hear you No way near you I don’t care This is my midlife crisis I don’t need you Never asked you Welcome to This is my midlife crisis I can’t hear you No way near you I don’t care This is my midlife crisis This is my midlife crisis

I never thought I’d have to tell you this again I never figured that you’d keep on creepin, time and time again How many years ago we screamed our last goodbye How many years ago but still you just won’t ever let it die Hear what I say I wish you well but god damn please just go away Don’t want you back Don’t want you hanging off my back Don’t want you back Move on just go away and get off of my back Forever ended it’s past time to move along Just sever all the made-up ties and lies that keep you hangin on So tired of wondering when your next bombs gonna drop So tired of wondering if your psycho games are ever gonna stop What will it take For you to stop this game and please just go away Don’t want you back Don’t want you hanging off my back Don’t want you back Move on just go away and get off of my back Gone on too long Time to move on Please just be gone Don’t want you back Don’t need you hanging off my back Don’t want you back Move on just go away and get off of my back Don’t want you back Don’t need you hanging off my back, just go away Don’t want you back Don’t need you hanging off my back Don’t want you back Move on just go away and get off of my back Don’t want you back Don’t want you back

Standing at the edge of time These canyon walls, they echo every line I toss the dice and choose the way Another footstep closer to the grave Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away Your shadows fall around my heart, you lit the way So many words I wanna say So many words yet still I never found a way So many words we left unsaid Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away Waiting at the water’s edge I feel your wings wrap tight around me once again We’re frozen like a stone in time Last chances gone, no matter every tear I cry Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away Dark shadows fall around my heart you lit the way So many words I wanna say So many words yet still I never found a way So many words we left unsaid Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away Twilight gives way to night like candles burned away Your shadows fall around my heart you lit the way So many words I wanna say So many words yet still I never found a way So many words we left unsaid Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away So many words I wanna say So many words yet still I never found a way So many words we left unsaid Time slipped away now all the words left in the world just fade away

Every day everybody takin’ every little piece of me. Drain my soul down to the last ‘til I’ve got nothing left to bleed Take and take and take some more. Then turn and walk right out the door Til the next day back they come all smiles and “can you help me please” Another day another piece until it brings me to my knees Take your shot Show me what you got C’mon take a shot Let’s see what you got Bending past the point of breaking, you can hear the vessel crack Nothing left here for the taking, greedy fingers bitten back Scream and scream and scream “no more” lying curled up shaking on the floor What else do you want from me I have got nothing left to give Broken, beaten, left here bleeding, not a care left if I live Take your shot Show me what you got C’mon take a shot Let’s see what you got Take your shot Show me what you got C’mon take a shot Let’s see what you got Can’t take another day Make them all go away Nothing left behind my eyes Take your best shot i see through your lies Every day everybody tries to take a little piece of me. Nothing left here for the taking, take a shot and you will see Take and take and take no more So walk away before you hit the floor Don’t care what you want from me, nothing left for you to sleaze Turn and walk back out that door before I put you on your knees Take a shot Show me what you got C’mon take your shot And show me what you got C’mon and take your shot Show me what you got C’mon and take your shot Show me what you got C’mon and take your shot Show me what you got C’mon and take your shot C’mon and take your shot
