Fractions

More More

Fractions

Me
More pain
More time
More places to hide
More stacks of lies
More reasons to cry

More hate
Its fate
More worries
In a trance

Cus the hurt is on the inside. As I`m singing - I dance, clock tick ticking. Feelings can`t grasp.

Society
Need more money
Need more time
You're wasting your life
Like a weirdo inside

Get some friends
Get a wife
Open up
Get drunk in the dark

Oh, don`t start. When I`m connected I`m apart. In a crowd like a sea. Feel empty to the knees.

Everyone else
Clockwork
How does that work?
Rather try and learn
Rather love than earn

Rather cut than drill
Then saw my sores
I`d take a pill
Just to know how it tastes

Cus it’s a waste. Everyone’s got somewhere to be - Haste. Am I just treading water?

Or just running late.
The Fish of the Sea

So relatable to read. At work one never has time to think before the phone rings again, at home one only really would like to sleep but then you must be company and so forth. Love this piece. John

This one isn't a rant and sounds positive in many places ;)

Rather try and learn
Rather love than earn

Thanks, Yiyan! And your absolutely true, more a protest against social norms and a fight for values of love over money. Thanks for picking that out ;). All smiles, best wishes to you. Your friend, TFOTS
