Embracing Facts

How the hell could I have been so dumb?

As an outspoken man with a well-sharpened tongue

I sort of thought I'd start to change with age

But I've just stayed the same

Call me crazy but today I'm embracing facts

A past full of mistakes which I can't take back

It's a crying shame that I'd drag this out just to pass the blame

How the hell could I have been so weak?

A plush backseat flips my switch on to speak and says

"Your common sense will never pay the rent."

Harsh words from a path that I seldom choose

I'll scream at the wall as you sing the blues

The minor chords that you and I simply can't afford
