If I Could Rise Up And Fly Away, I Would
There Are So Many Millions Of Things That Really Need
To Be Said By Me, So I Work Hard And Say It With Speed
If I could rise up and fly away I would
The Interstate calls its light-shift veins driving on and on
The Little Towns are like corroded arteries or neurons
and i'm tired and i like this little hole that i live in
and i do not want to leave this little home i have made
in a random town on a random street here i am happy
i am not lost when i look up at the night sky and i dont
think the apocalypse is coming i think it goes on and on
If I could rise up and fly away, i would
There is nothing you can know that isn't already known
There's nothing I could say that i haven't thought before
There's nothing i could do that would be smart enough
so a ingrained sense of constant futility in all that we do
and everywher we go, it's all futile, in vain, every pointless job
every precious treasured career every college graduate has built themselves
i say a career is futility and networking is futility
and bullshitting one another is complete futility, stupidity and a waste of effort
we are all human beings and we are all have alot in common
so why should i conceal my imerfections and scars with makeup and hair dye
ladies, that facial mas is just going to further clog your pores
that hair mask is grease just dont wash it every five days
and so why do you work so hard for it at bullshitting one another at work
i cant hold a job because i think bullshitting is bullshit
and its bullshit that our species hasn't evolved enough to realise
that we dont need to talk about anything
that one's best effort is all one is to be asked of
that all that anyone needs are ones basic needs
that excess doesnt corrupts as much as eats away like cavities in teeth
excess eats at the soul so live in simplicity
get lost in the crowd and accept your humanness
give yourself all the benefit of the doubt
stop expecting so damn much of yourselves
you have...a heart, in there somewhere...or am i wrong
you do you have a heart so why dont you listen to it
why dont you tell your boss what you honestly think
and if you like someone be so and if you dont like someone
dont feel a need to lie about the fact just embrace yourself
we are all special and unique in this infinite world like snowflakes
we are individual snowflakes and its all just alot of Snow
People are snow, every snowflake is a unique individual and somehow
most of us find a shady snowdrift to fall into and settle, sparkle, melt, and die.
If I Could Rise Up And Fly Away, I Would
But Even if i can, i won't because i like my tiny cog in the clock
and days are flying by and we are surviving and trying to improve
and those dreams and treasures you hold dear are more sacred to God
than Jesus on the cross, in my opinion hold on to them
life is sad and moments are fleeting time flying past like a train
and so we fall asleep and come into each new day with new hope
and on and on and on....
In Jesus' Name,
 Amen
