lyrics

I’ve looked through all of these files.
My computer does not know my work,
but it helps me escape from responsibilities
that don’t help me in turn.

Why would you say this right now
if your intention is not to confuse?
Three years of progress mean nothing
if the future has nothing for you.

Oh, I’ve been told if there is a good
way to live how I want, I should go.
Oh, I know, but if there is a door right
before me, how can I be bold?

I could make ranked lists of goals that I
must, should, could have, and do want,
prioritize everything, and pick out
what to have and have not.

But, I do have problems that
are only resolved with time,
and time is the only left that I’m
sure I do want to be mine.

Oh, I’ve been told if there is a good
way to live how I want, I should go.
Oh, I know, but if there is a door right
before me, how can I be bold?
