it’s 11:00 and I think I should forget it
but if I do, I might regret it
If I force myself to have a good time—
maybe i should ghost without a word, I don’t want to stay here
if I had creative success
back before I sold off my time
I’d have a bed of laurels to rest on
instead of faded couches, getting high
I no longer have to worry about impressin’
but that’s what I find distressin’
I’ll never see these kids again why would I bother—
step out of your head or you’ll be dead before you even get there
if I had creative success
back before I sold off my time
I’d play off my dreams of being a has-been
instead of writing what-might-have-been lines
