Do what I want... Oh, what a taunt. I wish I could. There's no way I should. I want to go home I want to write a book Sit back on memory foam In a cozy little nook. To stay home with my kids And my wonderful wife To shut my eyelids And sleep without strife I want to talk to the people Who wander my mind To sit and slowly pull And scribe as stories unwind For my family, I want to care To give them all they need And always be there So they've lives they want to lead. I just want to function To not give my all Just to end in destruction Not to fall and fall and fall I want to like the man in the mirror To not see myself with disgust, As something lowly, inferior. I want to be worth your trust Do what I want... Oh, what a taunt. Maybe I should, But there's no way I could.

Do What I Want
Do what I want... Oh, what a taunt. I wish I could. There's no way I should. I want to go home I want to write a book Sit back on memory foam In a cozy little nook. To stay home with my kids And my wonderful wife To shut my eyelids And sleep without strife I want to talk to the people Who wander my mind To sit and slowly pull And scribe as stories unwind For my family, I want to care To give them all they need And always be there So they've lives they want to lead. I just want to function To not give my all Just to end in destruction Not to fall and fall and fall I want to like the man in the mirror To not see myself with disgust, As something lowly, inferior. I want to be worth your trust Do what I want... Oh, what a taunt. Maybe I should, But there's no way I could.
Whatever. Just do what you want then.
