Static

Spinning like a carousel
Down into a wishing well
Another broken dream that fell but never landed

Could've maybe been someone
With a bit of direction
There's so much shit I tried to learn
But never mastered anything
It always seemed
The secrets were a step away
Just out of reach

Cut to seven years ago
Always felt this way but now you've
Given me a reason to ignore the static

Looking down the family tree
Just a branch away from me
I watched it grow so gracefully
And never crack or splinter off
That time is lost
But plenty left to break away
Just out of reach

Sadly that's including me
Go and live your wildest dreams
Be whoever you want to me
I won't be there
