I could rid my eyes of this pessimistic view I could buy into the latest design I could distract myself with a goal for gold but a little voice tells me I'd be better off dead I could give everything of myself and work myself to the very bone I could aim to set off and save the world I could bend over backwards to earn your praise but alittle voice tells me I'd be better off dead I could've,should've,would've but never did.. because if living based on such artificial things and I am forced to strive for the "American Dream" Dieing would be ever so awe-inspiring

Better off Dead
I could rid my eyes of this pessimistic view I could buy into the latest design I could distract myself with a goal for gold but a little voice tells me I'd be better off dead I could give everything of myself and work myself to the very bone I could aim to set off and save the world I could bend over backwards to earn your praise but alittle voice tells me I'd be better off dead I could've,should've,would've but never did.. because if living based on such artificial things and I am forced to strive for the "American Dream" Dieing would be ever so awe-inspiring
What can I say everyday is one big challenge to relate,to speak,to even think clearly.
