Ten Foot Pole

Pride And Shame

Ten Foot Pole


is there something more i 
just can't see? i've been so 
busy trying every day to make 
ends meet been such a long time since i stopped to smell 
the coffee now i wonder can i 
tell the forest from the trees? i know that i feel 
pride and i know that i fear 
shame i know i want you to 
smile when you hear my name 

seems like a silly game but i know i play it harder than 
anything i feel alone there's 
people everywhere some of these people even care once 
in a while you find someone 
who really cares but i'm too 

busy to give them what they 
need it's not greed it's the fear of failure it keeps me 
going but when tomorrow comes 
there's always something more 
and i can't stop working long 
enough to wonder what life's 
for what is it for? am i just 
a whore? who am i working for?
