Inhales + Seconds

Please keep me from getting what I want
It’s always far from what I need and more so
It’s not going to help anyone
The long blank stares at the ceiling
The intent is to hear if I’m still breathing
Well I am, and I’m thankful
For every inhale I take
For every second I waste
Is it really a waste if I at least
Use it to assure that I’m still here?
This coffee’s getting cold
And it may not be as good
But it’s still coffee and
I’ll still love it even when others don’t
This weather’s getting bad
And it may not be as sunny
But it’s still pretty and
I’ll still go out even when others won’t
The long blank stares at the ceiling
The intent is to hear if I’m still breathing
Well I am, and I’m thankful
For every inhale I take
For every second I waste
Is it really a waste if I at least
Use it to assure that I’m still here?
The people, the people keep talking
And I listen to their whining
What I don’t understand is how
They have something genuinely good
And still look for something better
I’d do anything I could
Just get a taste of something better
Because my life may not be that pretty
But I’ll still smile even when others won’t
So as long as you’ll take a moment
To have this coffee with me
I’ll still go on even if I think I shouldn't
Please keep me from getting what I want
It’s always far from what I need and more so
The long blank stares at the ceiling
The intent is to hear if I’m still breathing
Oh well we’re here, and I’m thankful
For every inhale you take
For every second I waste
Is it really a waste if I at least
Use it to assure that you’re still here?
Please keep me from getting what I want
It’s always far from what I need and more so
Please keep me from getting what I want
It’s always far from what I need and more so
Far from what I deserve
