its just a box, but you can get lost in there
how many hours of my life have i wasted
staring into a screen of make believe
i feel so useless and empty when i am alone, unless i am creating
every breath just feels to big, undeserved
if all i do is sit on a couch, then why was i given a capable body
i stare at other scripted lives and it always amazes me how easily they do it
the way they blend
each character connects to one another like the blades of grass in a field
the origin of them all is just so obvious
and they're always doing
nobody ever just sits around
there is always a dance or a party or a class
and every scene is just five minutes long
if i could disappear into a sitcom, i am not sure how long i would last
it must be exhausting to be so unrealistically perfect
probably even harder then just hanging out feeling invisible
and the deepest connection is your butt and the couch
if you ask me what i have been doing all summer i will say "working and hanging out" and this will pass as accurate
but sometimes i get so caught up on the way we summerize time
just gloss over the empty parts at clip it into little categories
how could i have been alive for over 18 years and filled so little of that time with meaning?
worse still, why is that ok?
i dont get it
im trapped in a world thats been wasted
and nobdy seems to notice
i spent the whole day watching tv
