The Saddest Man Who Ever Lived

by SometimesStar

I guess you don't have a plan. You unerring thought about insecurity! Walking a straight path, You take pot-shots at yourself for becoming a lie A lie you never did take too well. They're not on your side And you're learning more about what it takes When you catch those certain eyes ... Don't exceed yourself now, And never change! It always seemed like something Was deeply wrong Expensive distractions, that's all we are But get out of your head Because you know it's more than that How many books have you never read? How many songs fill your empty head? When will you see that it's not that bad? Strange as the sky, and twice as sad Cut it in half, cut it in half And half again, and half again Until we're so small that we touch the ground And nothing is right in the world of men.
