Midnight Contemplation

Been burning my candle at both ends
 Quiet frankly I'm feeling quiet famished
 This concept of time I transcend
 I've been put here and shall not be banished
It's a whole lot to try and comprehend yet some how I manage the damage
 When does the ending begin so I can grimly rest up and just vanish
 It's baffling to watch it all unravel
 How suddenly things appears to be so clear
 How everything that I saw from way over there now all now looks so differently way up close from over here
 I stopped dead in my tracks and looked back
 Just to see how far off I've gone astray
 For every one step that I take to get closer to home takes me two steps further away
 This path is a long narrow crooked one
 At times it can get quiet steep
 Like quicksand there's no need to fight it
 The more you struggle with it the further down you go deep
 It's a sticky entanglement like gossamer
 Like the fly caught up in the strands of a spider web
 One minute it was alive and high flying
 Next minute it's tangled up strangled and dead
 And Once you've made your bed you're gonna lie in it even if you're too high to go to sleep
 And all the milk that was spilled you won't cry over it
 You'll keep denying it making promises you don't keep
 You will try it then die trying
 Then try quitting
 Then quite trying to try trying then try dying to quite trying
 You will die in it trying to defy it
 But there's hope that I've been told
 And what I'm after must've been sold
 Cause happy endings I just ain't buying it
 Some advice best took
 Before your goose gets cooked
 And you're snookered by the sinker line and hook
 Never believe a man when he tells you what he saw
 When the muthafukkr never took a look
