Latibulate

Reaching 22 and I thought I would've figured it out by now I've been running to catch up with All the life I've run away from Attached but disengaged Where's the authenticity in feeling? Disappointed and delusional Conclusions are within reach  but I can barely feel my face I am lightning that needs some grounding  I'm a storm of emotion  Wasted just like my potential  I'm paying the debts of people I've never met If I am to go around chasing rabbits  How long will it take to stumble down a rabbit hole? Seen by many misunderstood by all So I latibulate (quietly) Unsteady as a jammed-up gun Ready to shoot the wrong messenger at the right place and time As if I ever get better  Get it together  What if I woke up and I wasn't so desperate to run up that hill anymore?

Will there be anyone to hold back my hair? I'm a used cigarette end  just leave me in the cold Everything's on fire but I'll keep on flowing Is wanting to get better ever gonna be enough?

"How long will it take to make a good thing bad?" It's so easy to mistake a mirror for a soulmate just put me on you Say I'm your favorite  Let's roll, we're rolling stones What's your game? I'll never take a ri
