Tic Tac Toe

With a fistful of helpless promise, I'll pay the ticket to this ride

I'm struggling to reach the start, struggling to call this art

Chocking again on my own damn pride

Maybe you don't want to hear this, but you must while you're on hold

No matter what you say, the debt is never paid

Cause all the glitter won't turn to gold

So don't count me in

Don't kick me out

I'm neither cross nor naught

Trying to figure what you're on about

And they'll say 'you'll make it'
