Lyrics

I’ve been living my life as if it’s a game
My heroes and demons are very near the same
I’m inclined to inertia, resistant to change
I am drawn to adventure, but not… at close range

I’ve been blind to the needy; and deaf to my shame
and I don’t hear the voices that keep calling out my name.
Don’t be fooled by my interest, there’s nothing to gain
I’m inspired by your story, but I don’t… feel your pain.

I’ve got 13 excuses but they’re all so lame.
I’ve had 6 interventions… but the world’s still the same.
I’ll give you ten thousand reasons why nothing has changed.
I’ve got 13 excuses, but no one… to blame.

I need teachers and gurus who’ll show me the way
Who’ll give me their vision and teach me how to pray
(how I long for that day …)
I have searched for the answers but they’re still not clear
I have turned up the volume, but I still can’t hear.

I’ve got 13 excuses but they’re all so lame.
I’ve had 6 interventions… but the world’s still the same.
I’ll give you ten thousand reasons why nothing has changed.
13 excuses, but no one… left, to blame.
