Composing A Commercial Product

I'm not quite sure where to begin

My ink and time is limited

I used to be a man of certainty and confidence but

Now every word that I spit out tastes of insecurity and doubt

And as the years go by and you go up in age

You contemplate the things you never had before

When did this band become a chore?

And all the songs you wrote kept you from being everything but broke

And your life is a joke

Nothing lasts forever

Dreams will last until you wake up

So I'll just stay up

What are you still doing in this place?

Your peers have gone and found a way

To educate themselves so they'll grow old and have something to show

But you still live at home

You're twenty-one and currently jobless and alone

You're wading in and out your past

You think too much due to lack of life experience

You need something to fill the gap

You're floundering in thoughts that kept you thinking you were right when you were wrong

You should've quit while you were still a kid

Nothing lasts forever

Dreams will last until you wake up

So I'll just stay up

Nothing lasts forever

Dreams will last until you wake up

So I'll just stay up

We are the same

We are all going to the same place

Life is sad

We all die along with the dreams we had

Nothing lasts forever

Dreams will last until you wake up

How can I clean up this mess?

I'm so obsessed that I'm depressed

From all the stress I've tried so desperately to suppress.

I'm constantly in distress

Comprised of sentiments I cannot express
