Sorry State of Affairs

What about the boy who wouldn't grow up
He took a time-out, now he can't stop
He locked himself away and told noone why
if you're afraid to live are you afraid to try?

what about his mom and his old man
they tried their best and then they ran out of luck
they didn't want to push him too far
you never feel free inside a reservoir

How to begin,
when there's no way in?
what up when logic can't win
because your head's in a spin

There comes a time, when enough is enough
say your prayers or stand up - who dares?
to this sorry state of affairs

Of his own device he was a prisoner
now blow the doors down, it's time to rip it out
nothing to lose, nothing to wait for
see what tomorrow brings, what future's got in store

How do you begin
when there's no way in?
what up when logic can't win
because your head's in a spin

when you're out in the blue and stuck in a rut
say your prayers or stand up - who dares?
to this sorry state of affairs
