goodbye to what if
|
hello to never
|
so long to someday too
|
just dig a hole
|
and put my coffin under how many times
|
have i tried to sever?
|
how long until i’m through
|
but if i let go
|
i know i’ll often wonder
|
so never run
|
i can think a way out of it
|
don’t pretend to know how
|
but i know why
|
try to swim but don’t sink
|
come up above it
|
treading water right now
|
it’s do or die
|
i know better than anyone it’s true
|
i’m getting on but i’m getting better, too
|
admit defeat
|
let down your defenses
|
why do you have to fight
|
a losing cause to find the thing you’re missin’?
|
know when you’re beat and come to your senses
|
still, i’m compelled to write
|
without applause
|
and though no one will listen
|
give it up and get away
|
i shouldn’t wonder
|
in a decade or a day
|
it’s hard to tell
|
give it up or get it right
|
i’m going under yeah, but not without a fight
|
it’s just as well.
|
i know better than anyone could guess
|
i’m getting tired of all this now, i confess
|
if only my art
|
could somehow relate
|
then maybe my life
|
would then imitate
|
the things i’d contrive
|
and not what i feel
|
but it wouldn’t be right
|
it wouldn’t be real
|
don’t look now
|
they’re coming after you
|
dig in, though you don’t know what to do
|
something’s gonna happen any day
|
but what i can’t say
|
|
