........Rewind

Every time I fall short I pray I'll do better next time
But next time has come and gone
Press pause then rewind
Back to the beginning, can't seem to move pass
For every two steps forward, someone stops me and pushes me back last
To move ahead, what must I do
Things that I'll regret, but at least my dreams will come true
I'm trying to do what's right, the way I was taught
But doing things the right way, you most often end up with naught

By any means necessary, gets you ahead
It keeps you living comfortably, well-kept and well-fed
Answer to no-one, keep your eyes on the prize
Nothing must distract you, time blinks by and flies

Now I'm getting what I want
But sleep I can't at night
Pain for those I'm hurting, I'm constantly waking up in fright
Conscience is a voice I've tried to ignore
But now it screams in my sleep
My deeds I now abhor
Is there someway I could go back in time....
Press pause…then rewind
