On to the next

Late again
I see myself arriving
To the conclusion
To the answer
After everyone has already left.
Late again
I see myslef arriving
To the place
To the time
Just as everyone is done and ready.

Then I arrived
To the answer
To the time
To the conclusion
To the place
Just as everyone else
Does too.

On to the next.

    List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
