now that the flood gates are open / i'm done looking to the past / all of our days are numbered so you do the math / we won't take no for an answer / retract the steps but don't backtrack / i got it all in my mirrors and ain't looking back / no more tomorrows / now means now / it's like waiting around with caffeine in your veins / and it pains me to say that all the gains that we've made don't suit me the same / probably all in vain / it's the game that we play / stuck in the same place / the rules are the same / but the pieces have changed / am i too young to demonstrate? or too old to relate? / don't clip the wings ‘cause it won't fly / stamp of approval on which you rely / gotta lead ahead of the pack / luck won't just land in your lap / is it too good to be true? / or is it cupboard love? / do we belong in a zoo? / i think it's all the above / back then you used to be king / you're out of places to hide / and now you loosen your reign / you ain't been cool since two thousand and five / cross it out and crumple it up / disagree with myself today / disobey, it's hard to comply / when god's honest truth is a lie / i'm afraid to lead the charge / out of my cage and into a larger one / the taste in every breath / finger in the eye / if satisfaction is death / then we will never die
