i am just a tiny wave, a minor ripple out at sea
moving slowly towards the shore, burdened with uncertainty
i'm gaining power, losing speed, wondering as i near your door will you hold it open for the tidal wave approaching shore?
And I claim I’m not excited with my life any more So I blame this town, this job, these friends The truth is it’s myself
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die
where you gonna be
where will you spend eternity
i'm gonna be perfect from now on
i'm gonna be perfect starting now
Some decisions you don't make I guess it's just like breathing and not wanting to There are some things you can't fake I guess that it's typical To cling to memories you'll never get back again And to sort through old photographs Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
The day is gone I'm on my back Staring up at the ceiling I take a drink sit back relax Smoke my mind make me feel Better for a small time ...
There’s nothing precious about
old people in the cemetery
reciting bible passages
unprepared to come to terms with
the fact that we’re all food for worms
what do they think a prayer
could make a difference now?
and though some days still take forever i can't disagree because it seems to me that i wake up and sleep look in the mirror have no idea what happened in between
and time's not poison but once you drink it all you'll die so let's just sip it real slow yeah we can nurse it all night try to believe that once it's gone we'll pour another round and come back to life come right back
but i remember counting days down 'til the year could be done so i could scatter all my notebooks on the high school lawn and disappear again into a summer's bliss of staying out sleeping in and getting drunk with my friends
that's gone and i know that it won't ever come back i accept i won't cling to what i had in the past
Just walkin' the streets death can take you away It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
These days it's hard for we to find peace of mind Between insanity and sanity there lies a thin line.
But if I fall asleep and death takes me away Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay
I like non sense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. -Dr. Seuss
