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
