Waste your time
Take it in
Soon enough
Life will begin
Make no rush
Ease your pace
Only once
You'll see this place
Have no haste
Gather awe
Worry not
You'll feel it all

I come down from my last high and roll right into the next
I find places where I can hide but I never find no rest
I slip from my slumbers into hungry hornets' nests
And that sting, the sharp bleeding pain
Is the only thing left I crave

Such a sudden specter
A spirit I've felt before
Like raindrops on the glass, I can only watch as you pass through
And if I could catch a single drip for every time I've thought of you, I'd have enough to fill the entire ocean blue

Filled with fantastic fantasies
Memories I'll never make
Like airplanes in the atmosphere, I can only watch as you fly by
And if I could take flight every time that you cross my mind, I could soar forever and leave this world behind

I saw the wild cats playing in the street
They see me
They eat meat
I once tried to approach them, to see what they could teach
The one I spoke to told me, its best if you stay out of our reach
If you try to catch them, they'll always get away
You cannot control them, but if you're silent they might stay
You may try to tempt them, with a mouse or a fish
But should you ever feed one, be sure it doesn't bite your wrist

Can you hear it
The motors hum
Working behind
The rising sun
And can you see
The bits of rust
On these machines
Built to move us
A golden age
Progress proclaimed
We can't stop
Til its too late
The suns a slave
To our own needs
We'll work it dry
We'll make it bleed
The lap of luxury
Where we sit
Is built upon
Blood stained brick

If you have a problem, you should tell your friends, or whoever it is you depend on. They will listen, and they will try their best, or just give you a shoulder to rest on. And it shouldn't matter if they understand, because like you, your terrors are unique, and sometimes too great for you to even speak of. And if your friends are true, they'll always be there, and they'll always be prepared to tell you the truth that you are afraid of. If they tell you things that you believe must be lies, take a minute to realize, they would never want to hurt you for no reason other than your own good, they're just doing their job as all good friends should. Because when you're drunk and screaming at them about how you just want to die, they'll be thinking to themselves as they try not to cry, how life could be worth living if you were not alive. As you need them to keep you from losing your mind, this should come as no surprise, they need you more than you can see with your eyes.

You've got only one life to experience everything, so take every chance offered and ignore the call of safety, telling you to do what's been done before;

"Be like all those people who grew old and bored"

Do what you want and never take no for an answer, because tomorrow you could wake up and come down with cancer

Be anything and everything that your heart desires, because your body will likely break before you are ready to expire
