Battling the rattling of your cage
Your skill set skews to staring off into space
And the rain sways to a grey place where it stays
Gotta get out, gotta check out, gotta break
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Hey buddy, Rome wasn't built in a day
It was brick by brick, persevere, that's the way
They get anxious when they're all alone, people say
Need a remedy to that prophecy but they don't pray
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
In the humming of an unknown frequency
In the milky eyes of a blind man falling to his knees
There's a sound out there ringing out just for me
That familiar, friendly, painful melody
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
Oh, checkin' out
