lyrics

I wish I’d known early on
we all go through periods
of the same troubles.

I wish I’d known early on
we are all kind of tired
and depressed
and it’s just not me, you know?


What is there to do, but sleep or sleepwalk?
To learn to have better dreams, or?
Just the same as to say:
“your aspirations are fine,
but kind of inferior”
and whisk
the underachiever
to believe
that they are one.


There is not much use of proactivity if
-activity is the first obstacle,
as well as
getting up
as well as
getting out
as well as
getting things done.

Is this what it is
and forever will be?
Working to hang on
towards hanging on,
barely.
Waking to doze again
towards dozing off,
immediately.

Forever dreaming
is a long-time wish
come true.

The sleep of exhausted is
dreamless.
The sleep of the troubled is
dreamless,
or
full of fever dreams.

There is a privilege to dreaming
and good thoughts.




The fault’s in you;
just blame the weather;
boredom caused it all.
