Stumbling forward, falling gently
I did so live my days
In reckless brash pursuit of stilted dreams
One day I fell too hard it seems
to right myself so easily;
and so did I there lay in pain until my brain won out.
?Do you not see what you have done??
said my little mind to me.
?You?ve nearly done away with your own self.
Why don?t you stop and think a bit, about the life you chose to lead.?
says I, ?I guess I should,? and stopped to look.
From blowing through the greenbacks
to sucking casks of wine
I?d made quite a big name for my sad self
I then so chose to share this name, with countless random ?sexy girls?
in hopes of finding one lost soul to make me stop the craziness
and maybe share a moment; make me feel I had some meaning.
What I saw made me curse myself, a hundred-two times over
for I was doing things that I did hate.
?Why can?t I be a happy man, without this kind of cheap-sad fun
where in the f?ing hell did I go wrong??
At Christmastime, when family?s there
I used to get all mystified,
Religion only made nonsense to me.
?Why bother with the mess at all?? I thought,
?They don?t even like me half the time.
I?d rather just be downtown getting soaked.?
Then the time came, when I had lived
through pain and nasty consequence
of my choices in the past until that point.
I felt the love and saw the hurt and blindingly I realized
what family, friends and lover s?all about.
From that one moment forward, and with every breath I take
I want to live and be a full ?round boy.
I may have lost my way a bit, and nearly got done-in
But I?m still here, with scars and all and I got a soul if nothing else to show
for the poor time I spent in something looking quite a lot like hell.
You might not want to read this,
?fact you might not want to care.
I sure did use my shots up perty fast.
But if you?ll tag along with me
and give me chance to prove myself
you?ll not find methinks a person with more cause or dedication
to be someone you want to share your life with.
