Closer
I have no desire to wake up in the morning
I hope for an eternal dream
away from the world
But my dream never comes
I think my brain makes me wake up
wishing that today I'll be on another world
as a different person
with a different life
A better life
A better place
A better person
But I'm always me,
the depressed
suicidal mess-up from nowhere
Time passes
nothing changes
I'll wake up tomorrow
and I'll be 40
In the same town
with the same people
and the same problems
This is my life.
