Everyone Else Does

by Sam   Sep 20, 2005


You think that you have all the answers.
I think you're full of shit.
It's impossible.
Once you find an answer
The question changes.
So why are you gunna try?
But hey, if you know it all, then help me out.
Because they say if you lose your past,
Then you lose your future too.
But my past is prefectly clear
While the future is glazed over.
Tell me how that works.
Each day is just as ridiculous as the next.
One day could be perfect
And the next could make me wanna die.
Why aren't things ever just ok?
Do you think you could tell me that?
Why is it that everytime I look into the mirror
I see nothing. I'm transparent.
How can people think they know me
When I don't even know myself.
Why is it that you think you can just look at me
And tell me how I feel.
Believe it or not, that's the one thing that I do know.
The hardest task I have,
Is to find out who I am.
I can't find the answers anywhere else
Inside myself is where they lay.
Nobody can tell me, which scares me the most.
So why don't I know yet? Why is this so hard?
Now, listen to what I have to say.
It might just help you out.
I'm not sayin that I know everything
Or that what I do know is right.
But experience has taught me well.
I will not follow the trends.
Who are you to tell me what\'s cool and what's not?
I'll do whatever I want, and have more fun that you.
Take my advice.
Break the mold. It's worn out anyways.
And toss that damn rule book out the window.
It's nothing but an overrated probelm starter.
Taking risks is all that's worth while.
A reality slap will get everyone in tune.
Leave the "Once Upon A Time's" and
"Happily Ever After's" for the fairy tales.
Disappointment is going to kick you in the face.
Kick it right back.
It's waiting for you around every corner-
So don't act so surprised.
Bad things are always there
While good things are fashionably late.
I won't lie to you.
I'm insecure, immature, and ocassionaly unsure.
I'm impacient, unorganized, and never on time.
And if I can deal with that, then so can you.
We need to be here for each other
To point out the good and stomp out the bad.
But so far, it's not happening like that.
So tell me it'll all be ok.
Look into my eyes and lie to me.
Why? Because everyone else does.
