Vast Minority

I must be one of just a dozen voices
To  have had a single chance
To  make some better choices

I’m just like them
My promise was squandered
Spent  my night and weeks alone
Prematurely  plastered

I can’t tell you I never saw this coming
Feeling  born against the grain
A life full of just stress and strain

Seems every time
I keep myself from drowning
I  feel the weight and pull on all the bags
I keep around me

Yeah, and it’s ok and it’s alright
Living like a satellite
Never letting out what’s inside

I’m just a man and the best plan
Is to avoid the wreck and I guess
Be set for whatever happens next
Expecting what we don’t expect

I’m hanging on
To my initial preference
To stay away from the machine
Deny my dependence

It’s so unclear what my future’s holding
What I believe seems obsolete
Windows [?] are closing
I‘ll celebrate the small victories of
Favored posts and faded tees
A roladex of memories

Yeah, and it’s ok and it’s alright
Living like a parasite
Never letting out what’s inside

I’m just a man and the best plan
Is to avoid the wreck and I guess
Be set for whatever happens next
Expecting what we don’t expect

I’m proud to be
Part of a vast minority
