With the sun beating down on the back of my neck
I walk toward the lake and I wish I were dead
The house on the far shore has been calling to me like a dream
Since I’ve been awake
And I’m sick to my stomach just being here
It always takes more from me this time of year
The days will get shorter
The nights will get darker
But I’m still awake
And the water feels cold so I’m inching in
The breeze is so sharp that it’s piercing my skin
My head will go under as it starts to wonder
If I’m still awake
And I blow every chance that I take
And I sleep on the choices I’ve already made
The doubt in my mind
Assures me I’ve wasted your time
And my sister left home that night
And we speak about it every time that we fight
And I know it’s not right if I say
That I slept through the pain in those days
Because I was still awake
And I blow every chance that I take
And I sleep on the choices I’ve already made

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator
