I'm so sad that I can't be happy
about the 2 lines, the plus sign, the letters spelling "yes"
your two arms around me
mystery of life inside a solo cup full of piss
25 just begun to feel alive
band finally playing, bout to start grad school
life is throwing everything it has at me at once
and I can't be everything to everyone
tomorrow I will make the call
tonight I drink tea
I don't wanna call my mom
and hear the sadness in her voice
to me, it's not a choice, to me it's not even a choice
because it's not, I don't, I can't, I won't
I'd rather die than change right now
I run two miles a day my pride and joy is Sasha Stray
I'm so sad that I can't be happy
Sad that I can't be happy
I want this all over and done
I want to go to the ocean and run
Want this all over and done
I want to go to the Ocean
When did life begin? I say it was 3 and a half billion years ago
on a planet called Earth
Cambrian Explosion
and ever since then it's been unstoppable
Have you seen clovers cropping up through the cracks in the concrete? Have you seen mold spreading out on a loaf of bread that you wanted to eat?
Life begins at conception you say
but upon further inspection
why not when strangers lock eyes
begin to fantasize about becoming lovers
Or was my existence set in motion with the birth of my mother
and so on back to the big bang
if you'll concede that
the universe began in some spectacular way
life is life it will go on
Multiple billion human beings
fertile for some 20 years
rapidly multiplying
many living in poverty
needlessly but for some others' greed
still you feign outrage at a
terminated pregnancy
spare me the drama go foster a child
give to the poor if you're feeling wild
I can't stand the hypocrisy
go do something to actually
alleviate human suffering
I want it all over and done
I want to go to the ocean and run
I want it all over and done
I want to go to the ocean
go to the ocean
When this is gone, the light will still be there
I'm gonna give it all to me
