Half-Life

So your spent half your life
trying to do everything in half the time,
and by the time that you're done
your time is doubled
and you're just stuck again 
in that same old trouble.

The one where you wake up covered in
so much sweat that smells like so much regret.
You're lying awake awake at 4 a.m.
and you wonder how did you get stuck here again.
And you wake up covered in so much sweat
and it just soaked right through you're bed.
You're lying awake at 5 a.m.
and you wonder if this tunnel has light at the end.

I could've built a battleship
in the time you wasted figuring
some way to get out of it,
sailed around the world and back again.

You're lying awake awake at 4 a.m.
and you wonder how did you get stuck here again.
And you wake up covered in so much sweat
and it just soaked right through you're bed.
Still lying awake at 5 a.m.
and you wonder if this tunnel has light at the end.

Whoever said that quitters never win,
well they sure weren't in the situation I'm in.

Have you got something that you wanna confess?
Do you think that this is for the best?
And maybe dad will get you out of this mess?
Have you got something to get off of your chest
with you dollar store pregnancy test?
Maybe this year won't be like the rest.
