Look at this mess that I have made, my pedal lays flat,
my wheels are a blade, no mirrors point back, my eyes are a shade,
my dashboard, it lacks a metric for shame you say “please lift your eyes
And see what you do, your family’s worried and rooting for you
But goddamnit dude, you have to slow down
Your fever is pitched, your thorns aren’t a crown
You’ll skid towards a ditch and your words won’t make sense
And you’ll try to say:
“Look at this mess that I have made, I’ve written a book that I have betrayed
I have become something of pain
Furl up my face, untie my name””
You say “please lift your eyes, and see what you’ve got, your friends
They still see you and haven’t forgot
But goddamnit dude, the work’s still ahead
Observe the wreckage and trace back the tread
Sure, we’re happy that you are not dead
But you can’t stay the same
