This should stay between you and me

But I have to say

that life is not all it's cracked up to be.

I mean, OK,

we all wake up in the morning

and go follow our dream.

Sounds simple enough.

But then they interfere, you know,

the fears--that maybe you do it wrong or are insane,

the anxiety--that you're not fast enough

that you might make a mistake

that people might not agree.

The desires--to be like everybody else,

to be happy, to live to the fullest,

The people--the ones with other dreams in which you might have a lead role,

The fatigue, time, money, gravitation,

The TV.

They all pile on top of our dream

and muddy up the clear view we had at awakening.

Then again we have to go to sleep,

be aware again

and grab the meaning:

Oh, right!

Let's see how today goes.

Between you an me,

They all seem to go the same.
