I'm up to my eyes in it
May as well let the cat out of the bag
It's no longer a secret so I'm just goin' to have to admit
My heart's no longer willing to submit
For awhile now patience's been wearing a red flag
Timer getting louder and louder with every passing minute
Too many zeros following that number on the price tag
All those best laid plans hitting every imaginable snag
Sometimes the truth sets you free
And sometimes the truth sentences you to life
Alone like a shipwreck victim in the Saragossa sea
Down the maelstrom of sorrow in a barrel full of strife
Can no longer close my eyes to it
If I try to keep my mouth shut any longer I'll gag
I took a bite of the ice cream but all I got was sand and grit
Can't push the envelope any further, time to quit
Cat no longer curls up in my lap, dog's tail refuses to wag
Going down on strikes like Rob Deer, can't buy a hit
Running slower than a snail suffering from jet lag
Can't get any worse and I'm not trying to brag
Sometimes the truth sets you free
And sometimes the truth sentences you to life
Alone like that one partridge in that pear tree
Which wasn't even close enough to satisfy that guys wife
