It's not the painless choice
that I've coached myself to believe it is
But why not, you idiot cynic?
Because I only find happiness
in moments of ignorance
And?
And in those moments of ignorance
I find minutes of shame
And?
And in those minutes of shame
I find hours of sadness
And?!
And in those hours of sadness
I find endless defeat
...that's why I sleep life away
Why, you fool?
Because in a lifetime of slumber
one finds nothing at all
