Stuck (a battle within wars)

I wear my heart on my sleeve
I thought it was easy to see
that you and me we could be such good company

I pack my heart in my lunch
I take a punch to the face
the blood has never tasted better

4am and I'm spent
what an end to the most irrelevent
series of events

4am I'm up before my alarm rings
the sun is still asleep
no birds are out singing

I pass the tourch off
I feel support from my family and friends
4 years I've been waiting too damn long
for the record label and it never comes along
I just want to pick up my 6 string and move to LA
if I play my cards right I could headline the marquee some day

8 years old my parents said that I could be anything
I took it to heart to a liking to the finer parts of art
pick up my camera write another screen play
recognition will come my way someday
I'll be someone special to someone other than myself

But Now I'm
stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
I've been waiting for something that's been waiting for me all along
stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
again

Try a different angle try to finagle your way into the game
you can't get anywhere with a 4 piece band these days they say

Moving up, moving out, moving on with my life
to downtown San Francisco, LA is just through my window

So now we're a duo from the "ghetto"
we play it so mellow we don't get bogged down by

any skepticism, criticism, anti-semitism

but were still
stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
I've been waiting for something that's been waiting for me all along
stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
again

I don't, I don't, know if I can make it
I know I know I know I can make it
I don't, I don't, know if I can make it
I know I know I know I can make it

stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
I've been waiting for something that's been waiting for me all along
stuck here, stuck here, stuck here
again
