The Day Is Coming

The Day Is Coming The day is coming When I just don't care anymore Offered hands full of life To watch people suck away all I had to give Giving almost nothing back At the end of the ride The seats on this bus are empty Except for my seat And I'm sitting here all alone But that's perfectly fine I've got my music to keep me company The lights flicker on and off This bus is taking me to the edge of the world It could have been so much better This life of mine I'm just terribly distracted by video games And when real world friends walk away I've often wondered Why I try so hard When I can live so happily in virtual reality I could be going to California Or walking the stairway to Heaven Over the hills and far away But the song remains the same Because what is and what should never be Has left me dazed and confused And it's nobody's fault but mine All I have in hand is a tangerine But the day has finally come When I just don't care anymore The bus finally slows to a stop And I climb off
