Hit Snooze

can't you hear this,
must I really raise the volume,
when you're choking it's not the air that you miss,
it's the absense of the choking hands attached to the target of the words you're calling them,

stall them, or at least make up an excuse,
sign the confession,
tell them you learned your lesson,
if that's all it really takes to break loose,

don't you think we're strung just a bit to tight,
did we forget there are other notes on the scale,
in all the time I've traveled from the left and to the right,
it's in that inbetween that we prevail,

It's been some time since I've come to these conclusions,
that I've respected authority or that I've taken such delight in my own dilussions,

I'm serving myself a warrant,
now it's time to take another break,
to escape all pain and torment,
that we run to as soon as we awake,

the next time I'm so misunderstood,
and there is no right path to choose,
I'll forget about everything I should,
and recall that I could, hit snooze.
