Surrounded
What if i never grow up ?
What if we never meet again ?
What if in my life u didn't showed up ,
What if you and me never remember ?
What if we were in a train ?
What if i never become a singer?
What we crossed each other at the lane ?
What if i wasn't a timber ?
What if we were just living a dream ?
What if for u i wasn't the one?
What if it didn't came true ; my dreams?
What if for others life was just fun ?
What if he saw me and runned?
And if we ever to meet how would I hide? my dust face;
And if i was the "prince of nothing " one ?
And if there's no place ?
For someone ,
Whose all "whats "are followed by " if "
For me it's followed by " can u just leave ?"
I don't blame them for the curse
Of teenage ;
I blame my age ?
I blame that damn society ; now it's venges !
Because some kids Don't care about maths ?
Maybe i should just wait a minute,
Maybe by it , it may mean ages?
Followed by "what ifs" of society
That to me is a paper cut
Hurts little , and burns more .
They think it's fun to splash mud,
And i ask why and for answer i bore !
And it's like a folklore written by witch :
And i can say she sometimes have spits ,
On my character image
She puts so much rugs and beds
It feels like a leach ,
When they put me on a big cage
I have been in parrot cages
For ages ,
The "what ifs" are just another cage
For me to get up my rages
And turn pages, to the sages
And saints for the contentments
And there isn't a trace
Of my foots and hands ,
As they wash it of like my solace,
'tis the "what if " case!
Now ; i may lay my body on a wooden case .
Just to keep another face .
The face ? Face of guilt , my embarrassed ,
My self respect , and those skills?
I left at a store !
To buy a new body and pace
There it's now the "what ifs " that no more surrounds
As before it used to bound.
