Raise No Fool

Oh the high hopes, oh the big dreams, oh the mediocrity of me.
The disappointment. I'm a failure. This honesty doesn't look so good to me.
Mother, father I wanna make you proud, but I've been wasted, wasting away.
Mother, father I don't know if I subscribe to the songs and rhymes to the books and lies.
are you listening?
Send me a sign. I've been drunk from your cup.
I've tasted your blood.
You've got those teeth marks in your flesh.
Oh lord is this a test?
I wanna be who you want.
I aim to please but I got this giant ego to feed.
I know you call me your own. and I miss my home.
But I just gotta figure out what I believe, and I remain untapped and you look so beautiful.
