Alone

What the point of this
hype yourself up for a good time
get there to watch them leave
did you have fun?

Open up, let them in
watch them destroy what you have
watch them leave again

Lock it back, close up
debris scattered inside, windows barred
hidden from them
hide your sadness in the vain hope
that you can make them believe it's alright

Once you understand where they are,
what you are all reaching for,
soon after comes the realization
you will never get there

Contentment

something about being happy
one piece that gives me pause

being truly happy cannot last
how can you know it will never change?
if you are as happy as you could ever be

it will only get worse
there is only fear to feel

i promise this isn't me

Exit

change is temporary
simply different from what is normal

as soon as change happens
it gradually becomes normal
moving towards more of the same

change is normal
might as well go back
just to be different

Importance

if you told someone
their actions didn't matter
if they really didn't
they would live differently

what if it doesn't matter
we are all wasting our lives

on the off chance that we
as a people
as a society

guessed right
about something we will never understand

but on the off chance
maybe some people will end up
happier

forget the odds
lets try anyway
