Play

Dont talk, dont breathe, I whisper to myself as I curl up in bed.
It's best to sit and let it all rot in my head.
No its not, they tell me, but they know not a thing, do they?
But I can't help it, they say laziness is not a thing.
So I let the birdy fly, fly, fly.
And I tell them "This is where I am."

So I'll put on a play, a play about honor and a play about lost souls.
This play's about roads, roads I took, roads that made me bold.
All I'll do in this play is act, act like I'm wise.
And I'll pretend that, that life is alright.
You see, this play is forever, how constellations connect.
This play will make it seem easy to interact.
And life goes on, I guess.

As the clock ticks every second, I flinch to yawn because I'm tired.
It's the only time I move because my ribs are on fire.
I get weird looks, looks from the devil and looks from a god.
So I let the smoke wrap itself around my empty brain.
My head then floats in a lunar sky.
And my brain asks me, "Are you now happy?"

So I'll put on a play, a play about honor and a play about lost souls.
This play's about roads, roads I took, roads that made me bold.
All I'll do in this play is act, act like I'm wise.
And I'll pretend that, that life is alright.
You see, this play is forever, how constellations connect.
This play will make it seem easy to interact.
And life goes on, I guess.
