Do you ever feel like you're missing the boat, that your life is like a ship floating on by but you're not in it? Do you ever feel like your watching others live their lives, like on a big, pretend movie screen, but you are not a participant of your own?   Does reality sometimes bite you in the **** and the pain drive you to rethink: Where the hell am I going with this? I don't want a cheap, imitation life I want more than just getting by I'm not saying I'm cashing in my chips I "m not saying all is lost I just want to tear it all down The paper scenario of the facade It's doable because I've done it before I had to in order to thrive I don't want a cheap, imitation life

Cheap, Imitation Life
Do you ever feel like you're missing the boat, that your life is like a ship floating on by but you're not in it? Do you ever feel like your watching others live their lives, like on a big, pretend movie screen, but you are not a participant of your own?   Does reality sometimes bite you in the **** and the pain drive you to rethink: Where the hell am I going with this? I don't want a cheap, imitation life I want more than just getting by I'm not saying I'm cashing in my chips I "m not saying all is lost I just want to tear it all down The paper scenario of the facade It's doable because I've done it before I had to in order to thrive I don't want a cheap, imitation life
