lyrics

How do I prioritize
the troubles in my life
and those of the times?
Constantly compromising.

So is this the deal?
Does it make sense
that when the ideal meets the real
we settle for much less
than what we had in mind?
Ceaselessly sacrificing.

Sifting through
the good and bad,
but who knows what gems
might slip through the cracks?

There’s just so much
to learn and forget—
just seeing what sticks
and what gets left
in the valley of debt.
At what cost do we reach the summit?

How evenly
are the flowers and the weeds
spaced between
the withered and their seeds
last time you checked?


Weeding,
trying to get it right.
With each one you rip out
another one grows overnight.

What unsung work it is
just to maintain
balance in a mind field
when it won’t stop raining.

How do I prioritize
what grows from within
and what seeps in from outside?

There’s just so much
to learn and regret,
but there’s just some things
you never can forget,
but isn’t it better yet
than to completely numb your conscience?
