Ceiling

I found my ceiling and hit my head

I'm about as good as I'm gonna get

The open act of unknown songs

My odds to make it growing long

Pack it up and pack it in

Every dreamer's cardinal sin

Is it in me anymore

Face the music I can't make

Punch a clock for future's sake

Can I chase this anymore

Was my ambition that caught your eye

Soon for stardom side by side

I drew you in for what I'd be

Atop the line of the marquee

Seems this sword is double edged

Sure like a roof over our heads

Is it in me anymore

Who would want to keep my hand

Without a path to promised land

Can I chase this anymore

Hopes and dreams don't pay the rent

Slim returns on time I spent

Acquiescence at our door

Has made an offer hard to ignore

What do you say

A trickle of blood

Drip down from my skull

My head's feeling dull

Can't crack the ceiling

But weary and warn

To give up all I've known

Might not make me alone

Won't leave me reeling

Come

Take me alive

You won't take me alone

We're attached at the bone

She'll hold my head up

Sew my head up
