Gamble.
What a toss up this life is?
A crap shoot. Roll of the dice.
So many accidents that determine
who we were, are, and will still be.

Dealer? I’m not sure of what your game is.
Could you get a poker face that I could see?
Oh what cheating, lying scoundrels we are.

We don’t place our bets until
the dice are thrown.

I’m not sure why I wrote that… it just sort of came to mind. I settled down to write something about today… high school graduation. But I found myself staring blankly… Its not like I don’t have feelings about ending high school (the feeling of ecstasy comes to mind), but perhaps this is not the time to reflect on what has already happened, but on where I am going.

And maybe it takes sleep to figure these things out. So I leave you with these lyrics… that I believe sum everything up pretty damn well.


Never again am I gonna give my heart to a bullshit cause
I’ve had enough of lies and dark
Never again am I gonna waste my time on a bullshit road
It’s never been a friend of mine
Simple words from a simple man
Take me as I am ‘cause there’s no guarantee I’ll ever change
To feel like this, to know distress, to always wonder why
Ah, forgive me any way I go
Father, I know, I feel like I’m made to let you down
Brother, I know, I’m failing to come through
To feel like this, to know distress, to always wonder why
If you lead me anywhere I’ll go

Well it’s plain to see that I don’t fit in
And I tried to find a place to hide
My body’s always been too young for the soul that’s trapped inside
But I’d show the color of my eyes to everyone around
And it’d take an angel seven years to come and calm me down
I’ll never understand myself or know the reasons why
In my bed alone at night I learned to be afraid to die
My soul is frozen stiff inside my skin
Paralyzed by thoughts that I’ve let in
Father, I know, I feel like I’m made to let you down
Brother, I know, I’m failing to come through
To feel like this, to know distress, to always wonder why
If you take me…anywhere I’ll go
Wherever you are going…take me by the hand
If you lead me…anywhere I’ll go
