Chaos, I Am 05:29
I am the cracks within the clay I am the chipping of the plate I am the splitting of the seams I’m the alarm that ends the dream I am Chaos I am I am Chaos I am the red shirt in the whites That noise dead of night I am the hiccup in the plan I am the shit that hits the fan I am chaos I am I am chaos I am a hurricane of good intentions Everyone of them so bent out of shape they never meet their destination Yes I might have overcooked it Might've overlooked obstructions When I signed up for the Midas touch And chucked all the instructions Now I’ve bitten a little bit much off I am feelin’ a little bit flustered I been givin’ it all of that ‘trust me’ Now I’m beginning to feel I been busted Somebody cuff me Stop the juggling I keep getting into trouble I went from acrobat to clown And now I’m drowning in the struggle I’m Bruce banner in a China shop And I’m balancing this crockery But spin too many plates and slip I’ll soon become a monster See I don’t want to get frustrated Nobody needs me miffed If I become overly jaded Then whenever I aim I miss Now I’m Cupid in a movie starring Arnie I’ve got uzis! I’ve gone from spreading love to Shooting anything that moves I am the cracks within the clay I am the chipping of the plate I am the splitting of the seams I’m the alarm that ends the dream I am Chaos I am I am Chaos I am the red shirt in the whites That noise in dead of night I am the hiccup in the plan I am the shit that hits the fan I am chaos I am I am chaos Look at this, What a state What a booboo What a mistake What is this voodoo makin’ me take Too many to do’s on top of my plate I already ate mate, why am I hungry What an Ill fate, what have I done I only wanted to build a few bridges Now I’m watching the lot of ‘em crumble I been rumbled by my recklessness My rough and tumble check lists Gotten heavy on the chest And now I’ve found myself in check I should have checked out after the last win Cashed my bets, yes I’da been laughing I coulda rested had a siesta Yet Instead I’m here beggin’ for pardons And in the aftermath Once I have picked up all these pieces I will promise to be calmer I don’t always need to please I Won’t take on too many tasks I will tread lightly on my feet Who do I really think I’m kidding My name is Chaos - nice to meet you
