SAME MISTAKES I MADE BEFORE (feat. Camo)

I don't want to make the same mistakes I made before
like going through revolving doors of miscues
missed opportunities and chances misused
truth misconstrued to live down and live through
I want to earn the chance to learn from those
journey forth, discern the code
behold the insight bestowed in this light
give thanks - advance to learn and grow

sunset and blazing tones and hues displayed in view
clear in the mirror as I'm rolling through
a long time to think and reflect on some things that I'd rather forget
feeling the wind - Zone in the mix
while the mind's eye choose to focus on this
images of previous days are replayed
as I drive entranced on the freeway
and I try to give myself leeway about the things I wish I could rephrase
gotta get burns to learn from, but damn son
my past actions hold me for ransom
and demand that I practice the lesson
but in the meantime I'm practically guessing
stressing events that haven't occurred yet
a key in a lock that hasn't been turned yet
that's the definition of a complex
excessive effect on the present context
right about now I roll down the exit
fuel running low though you know so i check it

I don't want to make the same mistakes I made before
like going through revolving doors of miscues
missed opportunities and chances misused
truth misconstrued to live down and live through
I want to earn the chance to learn from those
journey forth, discern the code
behold the insight bestowed in this light
give thanks - advance to learn and grow

rolling alone, holding my own
should I make the call? - holding my phone
I set it aside for now - heading inside for now
gotta get fed so I head in a dive for now
a truck stop - wonder how did my luck stop
I slipped up and missed where the buck stopped
playing with vice of various types
now I'm paying the price these precarious nights
alone with my thoughts - joe in the pot
counting on the next shot I'm hoping I've got
no guarantees for a rambling man
ambling shamble of a gambling man
but I won before when i was on the right avenue
a couple more scores, pick up some revenue
imagine the clock on the wall could dial back,
but I could keep the lessons I learned a while back
find my way home to when times were better
know what I should have said and stay together
why'd I insist on making you wait?
now I subsist in a state of too late...
get the check, leave a heck of a tip
into the night, the next leg of my trip
headlights up - turn on a song, son
night coming down - gonna be a long one...
