This Week The Trend

And this week the trend

was to not wake up till 3pm

I picked the few conscious hours that I chose to spend

and slept away the rest of them

and this week the trend

was to crash and burn and then return again

to practice the life that I pretend

provides enough to get me through the weekend

so I say

get me a solution

and watch me run with it

and then you gave

you gave me a solution

what have I done with it

cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out

way back then

and now it's this minute, this hour, this day

And this week the trend

was to backstab every single one of my friends

and leave a voicemail message trying to make amends

all the while hoping things work out in the end

and this week the trend

was to borrow all the strength that you could lend

to keep my head above the water and not descend

back to where I said I'd never go again

So I say

give me a solution

and watch me run with it

and then you gave

you gave me a solution

what have I done with it

cause I was absolutely sure I had it all figured out

way back then

but after this day it's this week all over again

And I just want to get mugged at knifepoint

to get cut enough to wake me up

cause I know that I don't want to die

sitting around watching my life go by

and what we take from this is what we'll get and we haven't quite figured it out just yet

because all of us are all too stuck

strapped to a chair watching our lives blow up

stuck watching our lives blow up
