Looking at my future is way beyond me
Getting warm in the shadow of dreams
Waking up is hard when you feel undeserving
Privileged at birth but where did it get me
I should have invested
My time and my money
A quarter-century of second-rate tries
I should have invested
My time and my money
25 years of substandard tries
Under-appreciation, poor self-awareness
Dead dreams they tell no tales
Ideas grounded in imagination
Understanding people want the same thing
I should have invested
My time and my money
A quarter-century of second-rate tries
I should have invested
My time and my money
25 years of substandard tries
Where did it get me

Dreams > Screens

Sitting alone, staring at my phone
Who would have thought mundane would
Be the new reality?
Stuck and plateaued with nowhere to go
Thinking of goals for some kind of utopian future
I’m wasting my time
With ideas on my mind
If I could only spend a moment
To relate my thoughts to the general public
Motivations hard when you’re lying in the dark
Your eyes are wide open and it’s 3:37
My whole life is in screens when it should be my dreams
And I’m focused on memes to occupy
my disillusioned social life
I’m wasting my time
With ideas on my mind
If I could only spend a moment
To relate my thoughts to the general public
Try to understand
Just where my mind went
Giving up on plans
My motivations gone
and I am unacceptably unexceptional

Societal Compromise

When you were young
Did you ever wanna just
Try again
Going over
Everything you’ve ever learned
In your head
Swing set so high
Why don’t we touch the sky?
I know we can
Trials and mistakes
You give and you take
Born again
Precious and safe
All these things that decay
Finite friends
My hopes so high
Why don’t we compromise?
I know we can
Societal pressure
Overshot and underscored
Dying is easy
It’s life that takes a little more
