Listener - My Five Year Plan lyrics

Trouble will find you
She's an awfully cunning bird
And progress it blinds you it's
In every lesson learned
Failure leaves more room, for improvement
Masquerading as time well spent
Honesty is a noble tool
I'm gonna learn to use it wisely
Reason outweighs the rules
When I lead with you behind me
Loyalty sadly held prisoner
And pity is her only visitor
I want to live for a living
Buddy, I want to live for a living
My five year plan
My five year plan, my five year plan
Well I'm going to iron out
All of life's disappointing wrinkles
Cover them with plastic, when it pours
We won't feel
The sprinkles and of course I want to grow
But brother this is all I know
I want to live for a living
I'm gonna live for a living
My five year plan
My five year plan, my five year plan
Oh, alright, I've given my all
It's all that I have
I've given my all, my all, my all
My five year plan
I've given my all, it's all that I have
It's all that I have, well
It's all that I have

We'll make a tiny, quiet, god, to hold us
Console us
And buy a house that's made of hate
It will burn you and turn you
Practice makes a path towards a new start
I'll pack the ice around my stone heart
Accomplishment is the cross we'll bear
I'll wear it like a coat
All dressed up in achievement
Responsibility around my throat
Squinting hard to see the finish line
With one eye on the bottom line
I wanna live for a living
I'm gonna live for a living
My five year plan
My five year plan, My five year plan

Hindsight is a priceless jewel
But, I've never been one for clarity i'm
Gonna hold fast to all I know
Even if it's just barely
And of course I want to grow
But sister, this is all I know
I'm wanna live for a living
I'm gonna live for a living
My five year plan
My five year plan, my five year plan
Oh, I've given my all, it's all that I have
I've given my all, my all, my all
My five year plan i've given my all
I've given my all, my all, my all
My five year plan
I've given my all, it's all that I have
I've given my all, my five year plan
