I've been gone way to long
taken too much time away from the paper and the pen
just to pick up paper and a pen for a class that I'm in
it's sickening
to think that i abandoned what i love best
to pursue what i will have to love for the rest of my life
to provide for the life that will fly by over night
i can't believe i left this moment of clarity
all my pursuits of serenity
missing sweet serendipity
to actually grow the hell up
who's watching anyway
but i be damned if i let you leave again
bring me back to the place i lived
to create beautiful music
cuz without pen and paper
i just might lose it
