If you could do anything what would you do
I just want to be somebody
But you already are somebody
Yeah but I want to be somebody else

Life is about having fun
Life is about loving yourself
Life is about being loved
Life is about unfolding the devine purpose of the universe
Life is about doing as much as you can in the short time that you have
What is the point
Life is about finding the point
The point is the search for the point
Life is about this moment
And this one
And this
So why is this moment never good enough

I wish I knew what I wanted
Maybe then I could go out and get it
But there's never anything to get
There's always something to lose
Even if you feel like you got nothing left to lose
You want to go out and get that life you keep thinking you deserve
But nobody deserves anything at all
Deserve is just a word

The only people that get what they want
Are people that don't want anything
How can you even want something other than wanting something
How can you be foolish enough to think there's something to be gotten

You think you are better than everyone
But at the same time you believe you are the worst
You are the worst that you can be
You are the best that you can never be
You only want things that you can't have
The things that you have mean nothing to you
There must be people out there who would love to have what you have
But everyone just want to have what they don't
The best thing that you can have is a way to express yourself
There is nothing to be gained but the thrill of trying to gain
Go out and get it or stay forever in front of the screen and stare at people act like they have it all figured out
You can't even act

You hate everyone because you can't be like them
But even they are not like that

I want to meet someone real
The fake is the current real
Fake is just a word
Those are all just words that people made up
You are the one that gives them meaning
But meaning is also only a word
I was never good with words
Maybe that's why I'm not good at life
