Flicker Lyrics

I'm not sure I drew it up this way

I'm not sure this was the plan

I burn both ends of my days

Then collapse into the ash

I'm screaming at the sunrise

And I'm dreaming of the night

I bought a front row ticket

To this thing I call my life

Well no body ever told me

That the decks are stacked against

Somebody must have sold me on

we're born to pay the rent

If the world is my own playground

Why's it so hard to get right?

I've been bouncing on this seesaw

And the future don't look bright

Is this journey just for one?

Do I face it all alone?

Make a left just past the sun

And head on straight for home

I'm begging the conductor

Man, you got to stop this ride

But there's still a little flicker

And there's still a lot of fight

So many have the answers

Yeah so many know it all

They are the puppet masters

And they got their crystal balls

No, I think they're like the rest of us

They're just blinded by their pride

They're wearing masks of comedy

With the tragedy inside

Is this journey just for one?

Do I face it all alone?

Make a left just past the sun

And head on straight for home

I'm begging the conductor

Man, You got to stop this ride

But there's still a little flicker

And there's still a lot of fight

If the past is my great teacher

Then the present is my friend

I spent my whole life reaching

And trying to make amends

Was it fate or was it destiny

Am I the victim of circumstance?

Has every single thing I've done

All been left to chance?

Is this journey just for one?

Do I face it all alone?

Make a left just past the sun

And head on straight for home

I'm begging the conductor

Man you got to stop this ride

But there's still a little flicker

And there's still a lot of fight

Yeah there's still a little flicker

And there's still a lot of fight

Yeah there's still a little flicker

And there's still a lot of fight
