No, I haven't failed to recognize the correlation between working more and making rent
Between saving more and living less
And how if I suffer now then I won't suffer later, right?
Is that a guarantee?
And where do I sign up for the white picket protection from anything bad that could possibly happen to me?
Which broke down fool lead you to believe
That safe is interchangeable with happy
Or that valid is saved only for value
As in
Your car is decreasing in value with each mile and
Your right to drive is only valid if you've got the funds to back it up
So stay home
Save your miles and your luck
Because expense weighs more than experience
And if I'm not careful I'll turn out just like my mother
See you
Underestimate the value of words
You told me only dead writers get paid but
I'll never forget yours
I see them in the hard lines
That place on your face where I've heard some people keep smiles
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry you listened to whoever told you these things
If I could fix you, I would
I would make you deaf to the fear that you channel in through the ear and out through the mouth
But I can't so
Here's how I'll save you
You listened
I won't
