Two Week Man

It's never bad as it would seem

Until you're stuck there inbetween

Surrounded with no place to go

Encapsulated to and fro

It's an enactment of your dream

A place you can't leave with a scream

Nobody understands your yell

No one in this time zone can tell

My suffocation seems so real

This was not written in the deal

I would cross the sea for you

Do just want you want me to

I would be your secret plan

You can call your two-week man

I would burn both day and night

When my time's up I will fight

I will be your two-week man

Horizon's where the sunsets go

A pot of gold at the rainbow

These infinite things that they teach

Are like the goals we've got to reach

Five days would do it if I stayed

That's not the handshake that we made

Your grin makes my ambition wilt

Burn down the bridges that we built

I'd be a hostage to agree

I won't affirm your emergency

Think twice about your next request

I can't be your indentured guest

My memory takes time to fade

My mental photo has been made

If there is no one I can trust

Then I am destined to be dust

I'm leaving town on the next jet

Get far away as I can get

I thought you're fair and it was blown

Don't call me back until you've grown
