Nothing Comes Easier

Nothing comes easier than wasting the time you’ve been dealt
but it’s hard to explain till you’re dead.
Nothing comes easier than wasting the time you’ve been given
but it’s hard to explain till you’re
living with the weight of the world that you’ve built in your head
and the journey’s not yours to make.
Nothing comes easier than wasting the money you’ve got
but it’s hard to explain till it’s gone.
Nothing comes easier than seeing you’ve made a mistake
but it’s hard to find someone to
blame for the road that you’ve dragged yourself down
when the journey’s not yours to make.
And it’s over and over over again,
I am gritting my teeth,
I am getting back up
only to rediscover that both feet are stuck,
I don’t know for the life of me what to do then.
I would sleep easier just knowing that something was changing,
but the times they are a-stagnating.
I would wake earlier and cut to the chase of the day,
knowing all of the difference I’d
make to a world that I’ve built in my head
and the world is not mine to change.
And it feels like it is just
over and over over again,
I am gritting my teeth,
I am getting back up
only to rediscover that both feet are stuck,
I don’t know for the life of me what to do then,
And it’s over and over again,
I am gritting my teeth,
I am getting back up
only to rediscover that both feet are stuck,
I don’t know for the life of me what to do then.

Hopefulnesslessness

I found myself on a train in my mind,
somewhere along the Japanese coastline.
Evening falling, an old man I was talking to
is now just a ghost in a place I left behind,
but I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness.
I don’t want to criticise you.
I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness
'cause I’m afraid to recognise it in me too.
All that time just wandering around,
the sunlit stations that I passed through,
bamboo and blossoming trees and old TVs…
These places I can never go back to if I tried,
but I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness.
I don’t want to criticise you.
I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness
'cause I’m afraid to recognise it in me too.
I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness.
I don’t want to criticise you.
I don’t want to talk about your hopefulnesslessness
'cause I’m afraid to recognise it in me too.
