Wear a ring pop For what it’s worth Casting fishnets Onto vacant streets And coming up empty Eyes grow dimmer Each year with every tear Existence is bleaker Just like her demeanor I want to go to sleep But I see her face In every dream Twisted and frail Not at all like I remember her Hesitation led to disaster Memories buried in time She never could persuade me That nothing lasts forever I got lucky And it made me mean Outlasting every consequence Until I believed myself indomitable But I said something wrong And it all came crashing down You were right and I was wrong I can say that now That I’m realistically optimistic
