the meaning of life

I make promises to myself again
I rearrange my shelf again
Wishing the sun would sink back where it came from
And stop showing its chicken face at my window
I like to wake up before the light
Thinking this is the day I start my life
Then I curl up in a ball and watch the clock
I don't mean to be 
Exhausting cliche teary eyed and unrealistic
I'm just always out of idea until I get the next one
One day I might have to
Fend for myself but do it consciously instead of vying for the right to be unhappy
Be something other
Than a primary colour
Though it doesn't bother me if I never get older

I find it hard to care I'm accidental and trifling
But the whole world ends when I don't do my recycling
And has there ever been a catastrophe
Where people didn't just get on with their lives
The world ends every day and begins again in the morning
Then one day without warning you're on your death bed
Wondering what it was that got you so heated
And stupid things ate up your time but at least it's eaten
And I don't see the point in supplicating
To your wasted time if you were the one who wasted it

I can't get married, 'cause who would be my bridesmaid
Though there might be some other considerations
There's nothing stopping me from just absconding
And going off to live by some frozen lake
I could grow a beard
Or grow potatoes
When there's no one else around it's hard to make mistakes 
Does this have to be
The way we all end up
You do your laundry again and again and then you die
Maybe Ghenghis Khan had insecurities
Even Hitler had a lover so I guess there's hope for me
You don't need to worry if what you're doing is good enough
A hobby could be anything even crying
Life is one long chain of embarassments
But it's better to feel embarassed than to feel nothing
