something someday

I never thought that you might leave

you never bought that I felt cheap

and you say that I’m aloof

I just compete with your TV

If thoughts could cut a trail

I would be there but

something always fails

life’s a twisted cage

it won’t get better

something always fails

only your vanity prevails

your philosophical complaints

about rhetorical restraints

we breed lethargic one way thoughts

sometimes it’s better to play dumb

If thoughts could cut a trail

I would be there but

something always fails

life’s a twisted cage

it won’t get better

something always fails

only your vanity prevails

and I hope we’ll meet again someday

channel surfing through our minds

and I hope we sort it out in some way

try to change something someday
