Hit and Miss (feat. Misanthropes)

Sifting through
All the wreckage
Left from behind
My broken dreams

Seems I've missed
Having calculated
The place I thought
I'd be

Took a chance
Fought the good fight
Mostly avoiding
All the crud

But it still
Wasn't pretty
When I crashed
With a thud

Beware of the consequences
Of ordinary life
Behind every open window
Are bitterness and lies

You don't have a
Prayer of winning
You shouldn't even try
The moment you take
Your first breath's
The time you start to die

Well I just
Don't believe it
Not a single
Word you say

You are just
Being difficult
There must be
A better way

Takes a lot
Of a little something
To formulate a plan
First I walk
Then I'll run a little
I finally understand

RANT
Hit and miss
Is life really hit and miss?
It's not binary is it?
We don't deal in absolutes
In life
It's more of a continuum
Wouldn't you say?
And I'll tell you what
A wise Greek man
Once came up with the idea
That there's no such thing
As good and bad
It's how we perceive them
So next time you miss
Just think about this
Maybe you learned a lesson
Alright
Golf is a game of misses
Anyway
If you're playing golf
You miss every time
But guess what
You're getting a little closer
To the hole
Each time you miss
Huh, how about that?
Chew on that
Why don't ya?
Furthermore
I'll tell you what
There's a lesson
In every miss
But there's also
A consequence
To every hit
Vehicular manslaughter
That's a hit
Is it a good hit?
You tell me
There's a lot of people
That died that way
Ya know?
When you're a teen
Pop star
And you make it big
But you stunt your
Psychological growth?
Sure you hit, but
Was it for
The greater good?
You've got a lot of
Life ahead of you
A lot of learning
To do
And if you're gonna'
Stagnate yourself
What's the point?
