Getting Over It
Someone great once said history repeats
Like a broken record, it chases it's tail
They were wise, gathering their informatives
And we like to mimic, see the advice?
So we're all a loophole, some sick game
For a Higher power who lacks definitive names
As we do things, over silently, pleadingly
And why can't we stop, reset ourselves anew?
Actually we can, we just don't
Comfort's drawn in things you know
Fear and anxieties riddle our future
Will it be great or disastrous?
Isn't that for us to find out, anyways?
If it's disastrous now, why stick it out?
Why have "nothing to gain"
When you really have "nothing to lose"
If you fail, congratulations miss
you're where you started
No one magically appears in thin air
A little elf to steal you away
Set you back ten paces behind
The steps that held you so far away
Hold you head up, chin pressed high!
Soar, up into that great blue sky!
If you fall, you can only be bound
Onto this earthen ground once more.
You won't magically land in quicksand
And disappear from sight
Did you forget that quicksand is upon the ground?
If you never climb your invisible ladder
Steady the unknown comfort of disappointment
Ride the tidal waves you're used to
Eventually the quicksand will find you.
