The hunt

I've always been on the hunt for anything
To make me feel better
Whether that was in the one, the role, the friend
The bod, the end or the other
I got real good at following steps
Give me a list give me an order
But now nobody tells me what's next
And the rope isn't getting any shorter

I can only wear so many hats before
I start asking you to take notice
I can only set up so many traps and lay em out
On the floor before us
You have to step
You have to step
And I will have that forever
Tell me what's next
We're in this together
How long is forever

Tick tock goes the clock
On that happy ever after
Gotta rewire the thought of
Equal pain and equal laughter
Life doesn't make much narrative sense
That's about as profound as it gets
Once we learn what happen means
It's a little bit easier than it seems

Spent so long thinking
That money was the answer
Since that car wreck in 2010
I'll never be a real dancer
The world is bullshit, that we know
But what about those who were built to show

I don't wanna make a living
I wanna make an existence
I don't wanna make a living
I wanna make a difference

For instance when there's common sense
What do you define as common
It's not as simple as you'd guess
But I didn't go to college

It's not the same for anyone
But anyone can seek knowledge
Is life supposed to be any fun
There's an upside even to falling

What if I want to study the stars
Tell me how good does that pay
You know the planet isn't really ours
But the people had their way
What if I fall in love with the arts
Guess I'm shit out of luck
Cause the people had their way
And people don't give a fuck

I did it my way
