Album: Pursuit In The Face Of Consequence (1999)

A Chance For You To Prove


watching... (1)
watching my friends make
(2) all the things I've done
(3) you make the same...mistakes...
(1) how they make things change
(2) thought I wouldnt make
(3) that you watched me make regret...
(1) I hope I won't feel
(2) can't remove this pain
(3) the same things I do

learning...(1) from their mistakes
(2) things the hardest way
(3) things taught too late

wisdom...(1) I learn from watching
(2) that I've gained too late
(3) gained from someone else

feeling...(1) for the strength to make
(2) smarter by the day
(3) that I recognize

decisions...(1) that would seem smarter
(2) that I failed to make
(3) that I once had faced

integrity...(1) is what I strive for
(2) that I can't obtain
(3) part of saving face

...if you could see how
though time I've wasted on
I'll give you everything in time
I will, hold myself down
I will ive wasted on a chance for you to prove

watching...mistakes...regret...learning...
wisdom...feeling...decisions...integrity...

everytime I feel I'm bigger
realize I am the same
and you're knowing what im feeling
but I think I should escape myself
and watch it all slip by
and you're knowing what I'm feeling
situations I fall short in
where I thought that i would gain
and you're knowing what I'm feeling
but I think you should escape yourself
and watch it all slip by

watching...mistakes...regret...learning...
wisdom...feeling...decisions...integrity...

...if you could see how
though time I've wasted on
I'll give you everything in time
I will, hold myself down, I will
I've wasted on a chance for you to prove
