confessions of a 20 something year old millennial

a song about a friend.

After college, I got a good job
Clicking buttons all day for corporation.com
It's respectable and it pays the bills
But It's not exactly what I'd call a thrill

Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life
Thats what they say so that you work until the middle of the night
But not me, no, I see through their lies
And besides, I hate my job.

Do something you're really great at
Or at least something you really like
But what if everything's just bland?
Nothing exceptional or grand
Then how do you do it right?

It seems like I'm stuck in an in between
Just waiting for life to catch up to me
How do I strive to be something, or is it naive
To think that life should be more than it seems to be
Is this it? Can someone tell me?

All my friends, well they seem to be fine
With clicking buttons all day for some startup online
They say "who cares if my job's not great"
I've got so much to celebrate.
Like this or jacket these sick new kicks.
Yeah, all of my friends are pricks.

Everyone's got something better
And everyone's doing just fine
I've gotta get out of this rut
Open the doors that I've kept shut
Find how I'm defined

Seems like I'm stuck in an in between
Just waiting for life to catch up to me
Is it really so much to just want to be seen?
I guess that's harder to get than it seemed to be
Is my purpose is waiting for me

I'm done waiting 
Done complaining
Going farther than I ever thought I'd see 

It feels like I'm stuck in an in between
But I'm not waiting for life to catch up to me
No more suspension, I'm flying free
And though it's harder to get than it seems to be
I know my purpose is waiting for me 

For me
For me

in between

confessions of a 20 something year old millennial

a song about death.

There's a room down the hall
Where we'd take all their calls
They'd ask so many questions
Some big and some small

Are you eating okay?
Has that scar gone away?
Just through their inflection
You know they're here to stay

But no one lasts forever
No matter how strong they are
And then they leave forever
Hearts torn apart

When we're born we are broken
But they patched me up
Now they're gone
How do I go on

Everybody tells you 
That this too will pass
Just take time for yourself
Take your foot off the gas

But what nobody knows 
Is how long is too long
Cause even when it's expected
It feels wrong to move on

And no one lasts forever
No matter how strong they are
And then they leave forever
Hearts torn apart

When we're born we are broken
But they patched me up
Now they're gone
They're gone

What can you do when your safe disappears
And vanishes into the atmosphere?
You keep searching for something
But there's nothing to do
I guess, this, for a moment will do
This will do

In that room down the hall
We don't use anymore
There's a part of me that
Grew up to be
Not broken after all 

I am eating okay
That scar's started to fade
