Dream Deferred

Waiting for this day to end
I loathe the way my time is spent
Will the day ever come when
I can indulge the daydreams in my head
A dream deferred, forced onto the back burner
A life forgotten, but ready to begin again
Counting seconds as they pass
Stretches the time infinitely
If I ever reach the last
I promise that I’ll use it wisely
A dream deferred, forced onto the back-burner
A life forgotten, but ready to begin again
There’s so little time left for me
And I don’t want to spend it with you
If I could take back all the days I’ve wasted here
I’d have a whole new lifetime and nothing left to fear
A dream deferred, forced onto the back burner
A life forgotten, but ready to begin again

No complaining about the fire, we’re all friends tonight
Don’t just tell me what transpired, whow me what it’s like
I can’t imagine what you’re going through
And I’m so sorry that its happening to you
But if you can’t put that shit aside
The story might sound better from the other side
You like surfing, but you made the waves yourself
So when you start to drown, please don’t cry out for help
I can’t imagine what you’re going through
And I’m so sorry that its happening to you
But if you can’t put that shit aside
The story might sound better from the other side
If you’re surfing, then I’ll stay on the beach
I’d love to lend an ear, but its just out of reach
I can’t imagine what you’re going through
And I’m so sorry that its happening to you
But if you can’t put that shit aside
The story might sound better from the other side

Waiting For Myself

Waiting for myself
Always falling behind
I can’t catch my breath
I’m losing my mind
Trying to catch up to you
Jealous of all you do
Seeing the world pass me by
While I run out of time
Waiting for myself
Fumbling along
Falling further behind
And I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong
Trying to catch up to you
Jealous of all you do
Seeing the world pass me by
While I run out of time
If you’d just slow down
And if I caught a break
And if the timing’s right
That must be what it takes
Waiting for myself
Always falling behind
Trying to catch up to you
Jealous of all you do
Seeing the world pass me by
While I run out of time

Sacrificed Our Youth
03:44
|

The ways we learn to cope are fake
They are just lies we tell ourselves
When we want to obscure an unpleasant truth
We are like ants crushed by the overwhelming weight of expectation
We are the sacrament of self-defeating labor exaltation
If we tell ourselves to hustle maybe our dreams will come true
But it will be too late when we realize we’ve sacrificed our youth
Dishonesty with oneself
Is a fundamental component of modern culture
Self-delusion is the only reason we abide by their rules
We are like ants crushed by the overwhelming weight of expectation
We are the sacrament of self-defeating labor exaltation
If we tell ourselves to hustle maybe our dreams will come true
But it will be too late when we realize we’ve sacrificed our youth

Sometimes I wish I could just forget
All the pain in the wake I’ve left
Forever burned in my memory
Are times I wished I could cease to be
I wish I could control it
But it all comes flooding back
I’ve long tried to suppress it
But nothing fades to black
Sometimes I wish I could just remember
All the days I refused to surrender
But they slipped from my memory
And became the subject of my fantasy
I wish I could control it
But its far from my grasp
How can I think of the future
When I can’t understand my past
So one could say that I live in the moment
Not by choice but at least I know it
I’ll never control my memories
The future is where I’ll focus my anxieties
