Tired of Me
It's amazing the things you do
The mistakes you make
Better yet the bad decisions
The dark forks in the road you take spoonfuls of
Aware of the consequences
Seemingly without care
Without fear
You’ve figured out how to burn and not die
Always finding a way out
The way in
The master does the work
But one day his grace will turn wrath
And we know exactly what you’ll say then
Why can’t I just do right?
The answer never changes
You can
But you don’t
You won’t
But you will
Won’t you?
Maybe
There’s a Hell for a reason and a seat there for anyone willing to pay the price of admission
God favors you
But that’s my fear
There are degrees to chastisement and you’ve been yet a babe sometime now
Graduation day is here
And all you’ve got are excuses
It’s time now
Don’t vanish from light
The Sun comes out tomorrow for someone
Why not you?
Time to pay
Your date is due
