Sometimes

 

Sometimes things work

Sometimes we get ahead 

Sometime we meet people 

We don’t wish dead

 

Sometimes we get an idea

Sometimes we’re inspired 

Sometimes we find peace

Despite the blood required

 

Mostly the fuckers win

Mostly it’s pretty grim

Mostly we’re haunted by

A burning ignorance

 

Always you’re on my mind

Always I do this blind

Always the dream returns

Always I’m curious 

 

Most days I fall up

Most days my finger’s stuck

Most days I can’t tell

If I should call out
