Far From

7/12/22 Still traveling through space It's not falling into place Tripped over my shoelace Wound up with a bruised face I'm starting to lose faith People staying missing or found in a suitcase Now we got another new case Across more than a few states Has there been enough progress in attempts to reduce waste? Playing hard to get, but I'm not into a wild goose chase Is the dam soon to break? I can't let it Regardless if it all starts to go left quick In a world that can be so hectic Many turn frenetic Looking for an exit It's not a game, you can't just select 'quit' Another drink another pen rip Eff it They can sit there and be skeptics They'll be full of like a sceptic They try to fight it never willing to accept it They're still doing things that are pathetic One thing they won't be is apologetic I'll get it done by being athletic As well as energetic If need be in order for the outcome to be electric Nearby buildings made of red brick This is very far from by best pitch Back in time over that they'd lose their head quick Half the fruit is good the other half is a rotten apple I swear half the world has gotten fragile On others people often tattle It's become a constant hassle Meanwhile I'm still caught in battles With drugs and alcohol it's a problem unhandled At this rate, how can I ever rise above being mere 'common rabble' If I remain locked and shackled
