"I've just been thinking how it's harder every year

to find excuses that'll keep me in the clear;

the arbitrary lines I impress in the sand,

the proof that piles in my trash can

while the skin on my hands is looking older every day.

The lies I've told have turned to leather on my face.

The love I've lost has turned to needles in my heart.

But I'm to blame for all the bad parts.

They're the choices I've made."
