For now I'll just follow in the ancient tradition Of the habit I keep trying to break But it's taking forever 'cause i keep walking and letting it in It's always got to come out in the end Why put it in in the first place? I guess to say you had begun Did you ever think? Or just sit and breathe? Unhappily content with the world that you lived in Just running to try and see looking back you could've just laid on your belly Aching softly Eating thoughts And saying words you should have written down But just run And lie down later Write down eight or nine Solid, partial phrases Out of breath and knowing You should've laid down in the first place Next time you'll know better Keep writing it down
