Crane

Takes a crane to pick me up
 A twenty gallon coffee cup
 A metal flag to move my brow
 Indelible is my color now
 Forever is the time it takes
 To get me going, can you wait?
 I'll be along any year
 Progress slowed by heightened fear
 I got a broken crown
 I went from king to clown
 Don't think I'm down
 A fool's got so much less to lose
 I see your tower's tall
 But that ain't all
 You can rise above
 It's that much further you must fall
 I see your life's a race I can't run
 You curse the man who fired the gun
 Concrete socks and cement shoes
 The race was fixed, I'm gonna lose it
 There's danger in a desperate man
 Watch yourself, I'm panicking
 I know my time is almost done
 It's now or never, never comes
 We're young yet
 Too young to regret it
 I see you play it safe
 If you had a dime, I bet you wouldn't bet it
 Well that's cool
 What's advice from a fool?
 Just hear me out
 This is what I'm all about
 Twenty-one in need of fun, growing old
 In a band to understand a fucked up world
 Twenty-two it could be through, enlist now
 No one knows where it is going, but it's up from down
 Could well be I'm full of shit
 Saying never guarantees it
 Still I'm not some posi creep
 Reality, my soul do keep
 Living on the brighter side
 Living only half a life
 I keep my feet tied to the ground
 I let my head go wander around
 I got a broken crown
 I went from king to clown
 Don't think I'm down
 A fool's got so much less to lose
 I see your tower's tall
 But that ain't all
 You can rise above
 It's that much further you must fall
