On her way out of the antique store She read a sign that ended with, "Life is short" And she chuckled out loud and said "I guess it can always be shorter" The cashier nearby overheard and replied "Yeah, that's what my son thought too And then he proved it" Her mouth didn't move much and her eyes were vacancy signs just begging Neon born and now faded nearly inoperable And then she floated away to the back The chime of the door startled her on the way out While lost in thought wondering what she meant Proved it Are we the vision we create or are we created in someone else's vision How to win, it all boils down to how to win, doesn't it Even if you're not competitive, how do you overcome How do you get through the day How do you win the challenges How do you win the light How do you win enough money, the love you want How do you win friends Once we win, though, we tell ourselves we'll be set We'll be alright But the human condition is never enough Because after the win comes the keep It's always the keep It's the human cycle This figural entity that moves us It's the condition that keeps us moving even in our sleep I dreamt of you last night That's the subconscious element flattered on flattered I hope she's flattered I hope this keeps her I hope I keep her entertained I hope I keep being funny I hope she keeps being interested I hope I keep my job I hope I keep being happy If I ever was Or maybe I'm not What if I'm not And then it starts to spiral What if I never find it? Will I even know? We earn by winning but we keep by containing While we lose, there's no mechanism but doubt That's the one we don't control The one that keeps us awake Doubt is a siren without any sound at all It's a shroud wrapping itself around the mind so tightly That it feels impossible to learn anything new To know anything old The pressure crushing every thought into another Until we can't tell where the handle begins or the blade ends Compressed, depressed Those are just words Now, the toxic blood keeps running its track Is my mind the prey? I want to give in Or I'm so scared of that too It's hard being a coward on both ends The two sides of the fence stare at each other Trying to listen to nothing Because neither knows what to say Come here, closer, closer Come here, closer, closer It never ends, even when it does It never ends
