A Genuine Life

I'm 25
I'm young
I am alive
I am taking
The medicine I've been prescribed
I walk the dog
I go to my job
I am frightened
Afraid something good has died
Where did it go
Where did it go
I used to have it all
Now I don't have it all
So maybe I don't know
What I'm doing here
Anymore

So maybe I'll just
Go to the mountains
I'm not giving up
I just need a vacation
I've got so much to offer
So much to give
I'm so sick of living
This life that I live
I waited for you
Yes I waited for love
The stairway to climb
To planets above

The world
It moves
The skies are changing too
They're maroon
With several shades of blue
The rain is warm
The fog is rolling in
It's confusing
And altogether meaningless

I used to have it all
Now I don't have it all
So maybe I don't know
What I'm doing here
Anymore

So maybe I'll just
Go to the mountains
I'm not giving up
I just need inspiration
Should I rejoice
Or should I resign
My moral compass
Seems to have died
I waited for you
Yes I waited for love
The stairway to climb
To planets above

If I could
Forget you
Forgive me
But I
Would
This is not the life I want
But it's what I got
Do this
Do that
But what is it for

I want you to know
That I wouldn't complain
I want you to know that
Simple and plain
I'm dying to live
A genuine life
But I don't know
What that looks like
I'm still waiting for you
Yes I'm waiting for love
The stairway to climb
To planets above
