I can

[italics = 1/2 normal speed; normal = double time]


I can argue my way out of my mind,
out of my mind,
out of my mind.

I can color inside the lines.
I can decrypt archaic signs.
I can prove you right or wrong,
I can write lyrics to this song.
I can hear the ocean in a shell,
But I can't look you in the eyes and say farewell.

I can smile while analyzing you,
analyzing you,
analyzing you.

I can convince myself I'm not in love.
I can break in a baseball glove.
I can pray when I can't find God,
I can put on a cheerful facade.
I can beat any video game,
But I can't pretend others are the same.

I can tell myself to have a dream,
have a dream,
have a dream.

I can engineer a creature trap.
I can craft a wishing cap.
I can cook a delicious meal.
I can think before I feel.
I can navigate through the woods at night,
But I can't seem to win this fight.

I can stay up all night until the dawn,
until the dawn,
until the dawn.

I can write poetry fueled by tears.
I can give you a reason to persevere.
I can make a magnetic coil
I can sell vials of serpent oil.
I can ride a dirt bike down a trail.
But I can't find the ending to this tale.
