It's Been Said

It's been said
it's been said 
you'll find hapiness 
when your dead
its been said
you'll make your own peace
in your head
its been said
that I could never 
tell you a damn thing
and that thing
I want to tell you most
is how I've been fading
I've been fading here
in the misery of yesteryear
it's been said
and all the progression I have made
may yet go wasted

I go wasted
with the audacity
of a punk kid
it's been said
I am a waste of space
when I'm wasted

I wanna cry
I wanna cry so deep inside
I cry in my mind
I imagine me 
sitting here on the sidewalk
of my golden memory
it's been done
a thousand times before
this shall be one thousand and one
for I'm the one 
the one who said it
once before 
now it's been said
I'm sick of it
