When I was far too young things began to change
Beyond my control out of my hands now
With all that I have done
I still find it hard to accept my fate

Average Misfortunes of an ordinary man
Haunt my life plague my dreams
Common shortcomings just like everybody else
Hold me down pull me back
Standard operations of a nonevasive nature
Rob my days steal my nights
Plain and simple problems with no possible solution
Have no place yet they remain

As I walk back home I think of the past
And hope it's not true that it repeats
