There's Times

Normality and catastrophe
Darling's a duality
This party is the best but still the worst

There's pot smoke and there's five o'clock
Dripping down the sidewalk chalk
My apathy has now been well rehearsed

She looks to me as if to say
She wants me to say something
But at times it seems there's really nothing worth saying

And there's times when I want to say what's on my mind
But I don't dare
And I can't stand the mindless banter spew
But you don't care
I'd like to rise above it all
But you seem quite content
Would you vilify my offer to defect?

She's perfect and thus wrong for me
I communicate non-verbally
But the message is lost in all its subtle charm

I blink and there my chance it went
To the brief reprieve of that basement
It's times like these I'm thankful to be alarmed

And there's times when I want to say what's on my mind
But I don't dare
And I can't stand the mindless banter spew
But you don't care

And there's times when I want to say what's on my mind
But I don't dare
And I can't stand the mindless banter spew
But you don't care
I'd like to rise above it all
But you seem quite content
Would you vilify my offer to defect?

Oh God I hope you'll leave when I am spent
