Crystal Monkey Project - Five Lives

C'mon and...Stand up, we've got a lot to do
There is not much time, but a lot to consume
Lord knows what I wouldn't pay for a little truth

Oh, well it's ten pounds stuffed in a five pound bag
A young man wrapped in the American flag
I'm not sure we're right enough for us to brag, no

Well, Sometimes I feel so far away from what matters in this world
Out of my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm not angry
I just need you to know

I've been living these five lives
I get overwhelmed at times
I always see those sad eyes
I want to make them happy

I spread my arms open wide
Leave my doubts in my mind
And keep my pain on the inside
Remember I'm so lucky - lucky to be alive

Well I'm just...gettin' pulled in every direction
They're all fightin' for my sole attention
And I barely recognize my own reflection now

Man...This place is gettin' overheated
I try to make my point but I still concede it
Then I take the challenge, set the goal, and meet it, yeah

Sometimes I feel so far from the people who matter in my world
Out of my mind
I'm not offended, I'm not uncaring
I just need you to know

I've been living these five lives
I get overwhelmed at times
I always see those sad eyes
I want to make them happy

I spread my arms open wide
I leave my doubts in my mind
And keep my pain on the inside
Remember I'm so lucky - lucky to be alive

It's so complicated
One life out and two replace it
There's no time
Too much is a fine line, oh
I hate it when I get so frustrated
Being busy is overrated
It's a bad sign
Need space to let your love shine, oh yeah

Oh, I'm not crazy, and I'm not angry
I just need you to know

I've been living these five lives
I get overwhelmed at times
I always see those sad eyes
I want to make them happy

I spread my arms open wide
I leave my doubts in my mind
And keep my pain on the inside
Remember I'm so lucky

I've been living these five lives
I get overwhelmed at times
I always see those sad eyes
I want to make them happy

I spread my arms open wide
I leave my doubts in my mind
And keep my pain on the inside
Remember I'm so lucky - lucky to be alive

Alive five times
Oh, these five lives
Five times alive

Lucky to be alive
Alive five times
Oh, these five lives
Five times alive

Lucky to be alive
Five times alive

Lucky to be alive
Alive five times
Oh, these five lives
Five times alive
