I think the one you’re having problems with Well he isn’t really here I thought we had an understanding Can’t you see between my ears? It’s both a blessing and a curse Cause i can catch you by surprise But that is all assuming i want To catch you by surprise Caught many times for what i thought Was just an innocent mistake Nobody’s hurt when I turn words Into another passion play Assuming nobody is someone Because I set it up that way But I can downplay all the shifting eyes And just shift them away

Because it is tough Here in the moment While I am roughin’ it In the cold

I think the desperation’s found a place To get its hooks inside I’m not the one that’s shooting daggers Because i t’s not my turn to hide Too many times to count, I counted And i checked when i was through Knew every inch of sagging skin That I could take calipers to So tell me why in trying times The world seems to get so clear I cannot buy enough discretion To get me out of here And if my hands can show a trade Then these hands might suit me well Bash my skull against the wall Until I repeat myself

Because it is tough Here in the moment While I am roughin’ it In the cold

And I’ll take Like it’s never been taken back And you’ll need more Than good directions To get to where I’m at

Because it is tough Here in the moment While I am roughin’ it In the cold
