I did not
Go outside today
It's just as well
My desk is by the window
So I can tell
If there's anything I'm missing
There is not
There is not
I did not
Think that I'd be in this place
If you'd asked me
No one asked you
But I am
So there's no
Reason to believe
I'm different than 2000 of me
I am not
No I am not
The things I want are simple things
Live love and trust and sanity
And I am on my way
What holds me back are crippling things
Like apathy and lack of sleep
Sometimes I can't catch my breath
So I sit with confidence
Because it's easy
Thou shalt not
Covet what thy neighbor's got
But my god
Is a jealous god
What he wants
Is what his neighbor's got
What I want
What I want
The things I want are simple things
Live love and trust and sanity
They are not out of reach
What holds me back are crippling things
Like apathy and lack of sleep
Sometimes my throat gets sore
And I don't want to talk anymore
Sometimes I can't catch my breath
And my heart is beating wildly
I can feel it through my chest
Sometimes I smell the scent of blood
It's pumping overtime to try to keep up
Sometimes I swear I see
People shift across a room
There's no one in but me
Sometimes I taste defeat
So I force my tongue
As far as it will go into my cheek
