With no light to see, you'll fall - fall into the hole

People see me as digging a hole - no, no

They've got it ass-backwards, and they're seeing it cock-eyed

♫ Verse :
F#m                         E
From what I see, there's no method here at all
F#m                                    E
Let's kill the complaining for the solutions we could be gaining
    F#m                         E                                 D

People stop and question me of my plans and who the hell I think I am
