  • Land of the Lost

    I’m sick and tired of being tossed into the land of the lost

    Everybody wants to be the boss, but ain’t paying the cost

    I feel trapped in a mousetrap.  Stuck in a spot

    Where I can give it all I’ve got and not still get a drop

    Of recognition.  Should I listen to the voices inside

    My cerebellum.  Or should I tell them to be quiet and hide

    Someone’s coming.  Now I’m running to the dark up ahead

    My heart’s beating in my chest, but it feels like I’m dead

    I’m still scared to go to church.  I need to pray for my sins

    Steady knocking on the door, but God won’t let me in

    Then again, it could be the devil that’s keeping a rebel

    From talking to Jehovah.  I guess my prayer is over…
