Don’t wanna follow rules today, I’m giving up, cause everyone around me just keeps telling me what I already know. Resign and close the door. Shut the world off for a minute just to keep myself from bailing on this all. Take me on road! Let’s for once be irresponsible. Make me a wanderer. Cause I know we’ve got a lot but it seems like everyone around me smiles more. Remind me of better times. Memories replaced like altered photographs. Another day of trying to stay awake, so hook me up and take me away. Don’t wanna play the game today, I’ve had enough, cause everyone around me just keeps asking me for everything and my patience is running low. And I probably look defeated, but I guess that’s how it is when you get old. But I can’t see past the bitter truth. As life goes on you can’t escape the battle wounds.

Are you even listening? Do you hear the static loud? When your mind starts drifting, pull yourself back off the ground. Cause I know, you could be anything you want. Just hope that what you want won’t leave you all alone. All in all you’re just the same way I was. Never bored and bitter still. Find the thing that’s gonna make you smile but if there’s things you want you’ll have to play the game. And it’s a fucking shame. Just continue breathing in and out til you feel whole. Try and take it easy. There is no good time to explode. Don’t ever try and run away. You’re only safe with who you are. Just get through the mundane, and you’ll be anything you want.

Reflecting on the irony of all the friends you have but you still feel alone. But just take note of all the tales you told. I wanna see the person that you’ll always be, not someone different every time. I promise that I’ll be as real as I can be, got nothing to hide. Tell me, who are you when there isn’t someone watching? Tell me, who are you when you’re alone? Will you let go? Or will you hold it back until your heart explodes. With one final analogy, the appeal you crave will turn you to a ghost. So just stay whole and you’ll never be alone.

Resplendent irony! Alive enough to dream but dead enough to know that you’re for sale. Just to live and not lament. To think of time as time well spent. Regrets recapture nothing. It wasn’t the way we framed it, but it’s easier this way. Not bad enough that we can’t take it, not good enough to not complain. Black cloud, don’t follow me. I’m buried well beneath and I won’t come out til the sun melts your despair. Just to live and not pretend you’re someone that you’ve never been. Reclaim what you’ve set out for. And when we run out of days, hope it’s all we thought it would be.
