 MR. F

I take another cigarette 

A swig of cheap wine

And remember the boy

That I used to be 

I’m not him 

I don’t want him to be me

If there was a time machine

I’d sit down and tell him these missteps 

Mitchell.  Always err to caution. 

Sometimes risks aren’t worth taking

Rodney.  Don’t be so distracted 

Shiny things aren’t always pure 

Frye.   Attention. Please just focus 

Learn from it 

Don’t become it

Be better than it

Don’t repeat it 

I’ve spent this cancer stick and now

I am out of wine

Who could have been the man

Destiny gave me 

I just wish

I can be better than that

I’d tell myself and better

Than the tales about myself right now 

Mitchell.  Always err to caution. 

Sometimes risks aren’t worth taking

Rodney.  Don’t be so distracted 

Shiny things aren’t always pure 

Frye.   Attention. Please just focus

You’re better than your mistakes

We all make them

We’ve all been there 

Shine baby boy, shine 

Mitchell.  Always err to caution. 

Sometimes risks aren’t worth taking

Rodney.  Don’t be so distracted 

Shiny things aren’t always pure 

Frye.   Attention. Please just focus
