to my parents...
This Life is sometimes more then i can bear.
but i was so ready for it.
taking on the world when i couldn't handle ohio.
I fear that knowladge of my ability
will forever surpass my will.
that I'll never hesitate to bet against the house.
at eighteen convencing you i was right,
young unchecked understanding
used to undermine your knowladge and your experiance.
that power drunken social sales pitch that
I so eagerly consumed
"responsability, independance, no money down!"
short-sighted, i chased those empty clouds.
Relflecting so bright in my eyes,
silver lined traps with the disires of youth set as bait.
But I've lived in that promiss for too long
and i can't help but feel cheated
As the desperate world i sought, crashes down around me.
What can i say but you were always right?
before we became equal and
I convenced you, somehow, I was ready for the decision.
