vice verses

why do we always want the things we can't have?
and vice versa, not want the things we can have?

it's a very stupid behavioural phenomenon in my opinion, if let's say, we are programmed by nature to do so.
or perhaps it's just murphy being an ass as usual, that sonofa.

life never gives us what we want, does it?
and for the things we don't want, there are plenty.
perhaps it is the sheer abundance of such things that turns us off?
or our dislike for it that creates an illusion of exaggeration.

and for the things we can't have, maybe it's because we can't have them, that compels us to want them even more.
things always work both ways, it sometimes gets very annoying.
freaking two sides to the coin all the time...

either way, i can only hope for the best.
it'd be such a waste if this slips away... really really.

and honestly i'd hate to fathom it.


walking along the high tide line
watching the pacific from the sideline
wonder what it means to live together
looking for more than just guidelines


i know there's meaning to it all
a little resurrection everytime i fall
you got your babies, i got my hearses
every blessing comes with a set of curses
i got my vices, i got my vice verses
i got my vice verses


where are you in my broken heart?
everything seems to fall apart
everything feels rusted over
tell me that you're there


looking for signs in the night sky
