Vice

I come out of the trance

Still wanting to dance

I don’t want to go back

To the life that plagues me.

I want to stay in the night

Where everything’s alright.

 

I know this can’t last forever

But even still

I’d like to believe it will.

And I’d like to spend

Just a little more time there.

 

When things aren’t going as you’d like

It’s easy to turn to vice

Just to try and make living this life

A bit easier to deal with.

 

And who could blame anyone?

You could still do alright.

But at the end of the night

You may lay awake

And wonder what might.

 

What might have been

Had you not spent all your time

Chasing a dream

That could never come true

And instead

Spent your time

Working on you.
