Wiser Man

Bills are stacking money's lacking I'm poor

I can't take it anymore

I can't see an end to this

Pills and mornings my baby's slamming the door

She can't take it anymore

she is leaving with the kids

I used to have ideas and brainstorm

my head above the water

But now it just appears that the rainstorm has overdrawn the river

Optimism the credit prison has floored

I'm going overboard

the chances that I've missed

I used to have ideas not brainstorms

my head above the water

But now it just appears that the rainstorm has overdrawn the river

Fame is such a lonely game

forsaken when it's gone

When it's on

it can't last much longer

Pain is for the wiser man

I'm noteless when you're gone

When you're gone

I can't be much stronger

An artificial flame

has lit some warmth in me

Now that you know my name and my melody

Glory notoriety as powerful as they may be

Won't take away my reason or my sanity

Fame is such a lonely game

forsaken when it's gone

When it's on

it can't last much longer

Pain is for the wiser man

I'm noteless when you're gone

When you're gone

I can't be much stronger

Aggravating a fameless craving has grown

And now that I am strong

I'm scaring you away
