weighing against reality
some obscure idea
that nothing is real
yet somehow all has meaning
the arts and crafts
of losing yourself
in time and space
in dreams not worth dreaming
giving everything you had for this
yet you still want to feel
detours taking years
until you learn to trust yourself
in the tradition of wasting life
for 5 years and then you'll figure it out
I WAS RIGHT HERE!
but you were busy measuring out
the distances and excuses for all your lamenting self doubt
I WAS RIGHT HERE!
every time you thought of existing someplace else
and the tragedies of our lives considered
imagine my heart in your hands, it's the last thing that i felt
