I need a new laptop
I need a new guitar
I need a car
That don't crap out over 50 mph
I've gotta feel something
That will last
But my wants and needs, they move way too fast
A troubled 20
Something
Before that a troubled teen
I've been the most loved
Most lost
And everything in between
This darkness in me is not gone
But it's understood
I was so scared I had to hide it for good
They say!
In time, this all gets easier
In time, we learn to see more clear
We grapple with mortality as that curtain draws near
It feels like I'm just rushing
Through my years
So tell me something
You think that I should know
Your favourite lyric
That you've rolled
Or just that it's time to go
I need a distraction
A lobotomy
Coz I'd do anything for any one of you
That never lifts a finger for me
They say!
In time, this all gets easier
In time, we learn to see more clear
We grapple with mortality as that curtain draws near
And it feels like I'm just rushing through my years
I need a new purpose
To adjust my sails
To catch a wind that might finally put me on happy trails
I've gotta build something
That'll last
But my wants and needs they move way too fast
They say!
In time, this all gets easier
In time, we learn to see more clear
We grapple with mortality as that curtain draws near
And it feels like I'm just rushing through my years
