I had the same lunch again today
I paid a little more
Than I should pay
For some garbage
I tried to pep up and motivate
I couldn't bring myself
To make a way
Or just get started
I'm not exactly sure what kind of
Promise I could make to keep the pace
Whether to me or to a face
It all just slips through my fingers
I'm not exactly sure what happened
Did I always feel this sense of weight
And did it always tend to linger?
The speed of time is frightening
And all the same it stays enlightening
There's a method I'm not finding
It's beyond reach
What I would give to understand it
I wouldn't spend these late nights stranded
Hoping it comes to me
After sleep
I woke up to boxes
Stacked in the dining room
I blinked my eyes and
Shot through the afternoon
One glance at the TV
Hello to the evening
What more can I say?
Better luck on a new day
So many comforts that I had known
Have changed
Beyond what I thought could be changed
In a short time
And, almost like an ironic joke
I felt the most alive
Last I was strained
Out of my mind
I'm not exactly sure how it helps
To say that like some cosmic truth
The last thing that I want to do
Is glorify the traumatic
I'm just a little in the weeds here
It dulls when I am on the move
So am I just being dramatic?
I always hear it's not exclusive
To know the secret is elusive
So you would think it'd be conclusive
I'm not alone here
What I would give to just believe it
I wouldn't think me so defeated
Standing in fog severe
Throughout the year
I still woke to boxes
Stacked in the dining room
I blinked my eyes and
Shot through the afternoon
One glance at the TV
Again, it's the evening
A sick kind of replay
Better luck on a new day
What more can I say?
Better luck on a new day
