Untitled

Regress to a person who was lonely

And you are still alone

Nostalgia for your golden years

Within the safety of your parents home

Cause home is where my heart should be

But this organ's overworked

It's begging for retirement from that restless cavity underneath my shirt

 

I'm young but I feel like I've failed already

I'm small but I feel like my soul is heavy

I've got mountains to climb

Running out of time

But the lead in my shoes just wont let me

 

Go

I'm so slow

All I need them to know

Is I'm trying

Not flying

But falling

And I wake up so tired each morning

From dreams unrequited

And ambitions blighted

All erased by stretching and yawning
