Dan Called And He Wants His Life Back

They say that everything will work out fine but sometimes it just feels like whoever “they” are can’t be right/ don’t waste your life away ‘cause you will never break the chains that keep you prisoner of your brain everybody goes through it they say life is like a box of chocolate you never know which ones are full of shit/ the fog rolls in across the shore of smith point beach though in time the twelve mile horizon line will be visible but for now seems out of reach and in the thickest white wall clouds it becomes hard to believe that there’s water just ahead of you even though you hear the waves crashing on the reef/ it’s not cool being the boy who cries reflecting on life through bloodshot glassy eyes wishing he would die for a thoughtless mind and one last sleep filled night not induced by the right amount of pills he self-prescribed enough to dry his eyes/ money can’t buy everything but shit it’s worth a shot when at some time you had some happiness now recyclables and ash is all you’ve got nothing gold can stay unless you fight for but drugs and apathy will only bring nightmare and I’d rather breed the dream/ there’s truth in the rain
