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 im through
but if i let go
i know ill often wonder
so never run
i can think a way out of it
dont pretend to know how
but i know why
try to swim but dont sink
come up above it
treading water right now
its do or die
i know better than anyone its true
im getting on but im getting better, too
admit defeat
let down your defenses
why do you have to fight
a losing cause to find the thing youre missin?
know when youre beat and come to your senses
still, im compelled to write
without applause
and though no one will listen
give it up and get away
i shouldnt wonder
in a decade or a day
its hard to tell
give it up or get it right
im going under yeah, but not without a fight
its just as well.
i know better than anyone could guess
im getting tired of all this now, i confess
if only my art
could somehow relate
then maybe my life
would then imitate
the things id contrive
and not what i feel
but it wouldnt be right
it wouldnt be real
dont look now
theyre coming after you
dig in, though you dont know what to do
somethings gonna happen any day
but what i cant say
