Claims Should Echo - Dr. Manhattan

At the start the end’s so easy to forget

When the closing comes it’s far too quick

And the start sticks

Our conscious is killing us

For what we haven’t said

This nonsense is thrilling

'cause we’re all underfed

The morning starts without

Us when our high hopes come back

Without a solution

Here we are again

So eager to pretend

Our lonesome hearts

Dare us to tear them apart…

Let’s break the glass that holds the wine

Look past utensil to feast on swine

Salivate at opportunity

And apprehend the useless

Burn the candle at both ends to seek

Potential overlooked by pessimism

Locked away by realism

Spend too much time waiting for the glass to fill

Priceless is the reaction of letting glass spill

Reaching the brim of every pointless goal

Without looking further or even looking into…

So hard to change them when

They can’t stop holding like they always do

Those with us
