Maps by A Place In Time Lyrics

I bit off more than I can chew
You can’t have your cake and eat it too
A slice of life, you held the knife
And now I’m defective, dull, and cynical
I rebel based on the principle
When everything is happening so fast
How can I last as an outcast?

I need a map to find the time to rhyme a proper thank you
Still can’t express how much I need these words to somehow get through

Some might agree that it’s ironic and a little condescending
When you say you’re coming back to me
(What are we fighting for?)
But who the hell am I looking at?
Gonna give me a heart attack
Do you even know me?

For once, just let me do this for you
It’s so obvious that I adore you
And everything that you are brings me pain
For once, just let me do this for you
Can’t you see how much I adore you
And everything that I do is in your name

I need a map to find the time to rhyme a proper thank you
Still can’t express how much I need these words to get to you
Because it came to me who saved me, and it’s sad to say, it’s always you

I see my reflection and that’s who I attack
Self-worth is a code that I can’t crack
I guess my chemicals are way out of whack
(Way out of whack)
