Bad Intentions

I stand on the edge of the earth
Unsure of my footing at first
I wait for a breeze to send me down
I can't pretend I wasn't hoping just a bit
To get blown off this tower
Of broken dreams stacked up like bricks

What desperate minds do in desperate times
Make it worse most every time
Somebody stop me

Cause I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention
Too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby I'd be a peasant
If I was paid in attention

I wonder if I'll ever go home
I start to see everybody I know
As I feel the breeze picking up
If I had the courage
I'd gather all my stuff and split
But I'm just a coward
Steel and cold like a monument

What fragile minds do in fragile times
Make it worse most every time
Somebody stop me

Cause I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention
Too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby I'd be a peasant
If I was paid in attention

I think I should finally get myself up off the ground
In time I'll have this whole thing figured out
Maybe I can finally make a move towards better days
Maybe this time things will finally change

But selfish minds do what they like
Somebody stop me

I've got bad intentions
Too many to mention
Too many to mention
And I'm too slight to mention
Baby I'd be a peasant
If I was paid in attention
