as I sing this song

what could go wrong?

As I suppose....

no one really knows

as if one should have chose

things that could be pertinent

to a certain extent

to live the life irreverent

coming this close to irrelevant

The choice we make

too hard to take

kinda hard to shake

distant laughter

seems omnipresent

but I'll take a wild guess

and venture that I'd expect no less

than to be relieved of great distress

in the course of time

some reason to my rhyme

in the hopes I'd find

a figure that implies "give"

matched with a facial expression with nothing hid

that would come back to bite

like a serpent in the night

when you assumed that everything was "alright"

diminishing returns, not quite
