I
I'm beginning to think this is as unstuck as I've ever been
Every little thing and all the moments between
I don't want them wasted, I want them to scream
Seconds tick and I feel purpose slide off into the sky
Haven't you got any better places to be? Anybody left to see?
Does it all escape like bottle after bottle to the sea?
I always said I'd prepare, I swear I did it all to prepare
It would come, a ring two minutes after I open my eyes
Don't you wish you held on to everything you wanted to be?
You must regret all the dreams you let evaporate just to find
Something that would come so easy if you'd only wait
Did you think you looked enough? Found all there was to see?
How can you not sit back and wish it was all just a little bit more?


II*
You sit so tall on the pride you built
Glory and glinting jewels of welcome travesty
Your chin upon the mountain of false accumulations
Is it easy to ask so much of me? To question all I know?
Do you know what you do to me to toss such accusations?
I have seen the back alleys of the world I call mine.
And I feel what you have yet to know: defeat.
Does it ever cross your young mind that you could fall?
That you might fall as fast as you have not yet risen?
You throw at me your soon to be opportunity
Just as I flinch to see you slide, to see your ride go
So quietly as mine did the first moment ambition blinks
How can you lay your whole happiness on one fragile wish?
