Why?

Falling back into an empty chair/Crawling out and seeing nothing there/Why waste my time when I'm happy?/Slipping back into my honest world/Taking things just to feel the swirl/Why waste my time when I am here//

I can do what I dream when I fear/Selling out and getting what I want/Take a pick and I will get the lock/Why waste my time when I'm complete?//

Grab the walls in the toilet block/I hit my head and I flush the lot/Why waste my time when I'm fine/In the ways that I've set in my life?//

My arms are protesting a weakness in me/My hands are a tool to remind me/My eyes complicated enough don't see/My fingers they curl back and witness to my face//

Drifting in and out reality/Your own reflection is bewailingly/But you still smile and keep things/Up with the people on the concrete slab/When you get in ttouble you catch a cab/Waking up, drifting to the welfare door/Spend all your money till you hit the floor/

You've been taken to another place/You're lying down but you're in this race/Don't ever think run away/Turn around and look at all you have/The gift of God is much greather than/You cannot die when you have life//
