Deserving

The grass is always greener
When I close my eyes.
The sky is always bluer
In someone else’s life.

I want to spin
I want to roll
I want to go fast
I want to go slow

I’ve got my eye against
The crack and
My ear against the glass
Against the wall.

I want to be up
I want to be down
I want to be here
I want to be there

I don’t want to spend my life
In Ordinary
I don’t want to live my life
In ordinary

I want to spin
I want to roll
I want to go fast
I want to go slow
I want to be up
I want to be down
I want to be here
I want to be there
I want motion
I want action
I want it all
Exactly the same

I want it then
I want it now
I want it close
I want it far
I want to stop
I want to go
I want it here
I want it there
I want to be high
I want to be low
I want safe
I want trouble
I want motion
I want action
I want it all
Exactly the same.

I don’t want to spend my life
In Ordinary
I don’t want to live my life
In ordinary
time

In this skin
I’ve always been
Itching for molting season
To be transformed
In an instant
awakened and enlightened
Informed there’s been an error
A lapse in judgment
Please forgive us
step this way For the prize
You have earned it
You deserve it.
