Again

from Divest by Steve Layman

lyrics

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin to live again.
Outside this lonely heart
Full of false starts &
Unpaid debts.
I want my world back
Solitude
With six strings & a pen.
Where a night in is a choice
Not the only option left.

Where nobody knows your name
No one calls to see your around.

Palahniuk told me I wasn’t unique
At fifteen I just didn’t believe him.
At twenty-something,
I put both my feet on the ground
Made a promise to pretend to be different:
I’d be successful.
I’d have passion.
I’d be exciting.
I’d have direction.
When I traded in reality for a dream
The confidence was spent with the paycheck.

I’m still just an aimless kid with a college degree.
All things considered, I still have that going for me.

Keep a diary of every day
You’ll still lose track of every day you’re misplaced
Keep a tally of all your shortcomings
You may run out of empty space
No matter how far you fall
There is still some room to get back up.
The choices are rarely easy
No-one said that life was something you’d love.

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin to live again.
