Said So

I was losing a fair amount of concentration

being stuck at the white noise between two stations

When I was finally done watching paint dry

They quickly applied

A new coat before my eyes

I'm waiting for the expected reconciliation

But how the hell am I going to find the patience?

I'm not looking to be looking smart

The target's less far

If I lower the bar (hit it)

Some have mastered the trick to fake it 'til they make it

Some don't care about being obliterated

Meanwhile people are buying up stuff like crazy

It's an effort nor skill, still we always praise it

It's a drag to keep turning the knob

There's been always a war going on and who won?

Too often I've turned a blind eye

And too many times I have been thinking twice

Keep me posted about pending invitations

Got one life and more time is appreciated

It is clear that to trust means to be

More reckless than I see myself over here

Rules that feel like they're meant to be complicated

Systems fear they become way too innovative

And the knowledge we all still can take

Any option we like, but they lead to the same

Tell me, who needs poems or prose to be serenaded?

Spare me all of your awesome alliterations

Focus first on the reasons we're hesitating

And why indifference has never felt like we're failing

Opening titles on constant repeat

I like the city, the city likes me

But sometimes the stakes are too high

And too many times I have been thinking twice
