Wild and Free

I want my freedom, I strive to find it all around me, be inspired and wild.

How many miles until I get out of this rectangular box of hell? 
Because these four same faces
In these overcrowded spaces
Have me praying for the places
That will leave me one minute to myself
(along with)
The foreheads glued to window-panes
The sore-backs from kitchen-wood floors
And all the sitting, sitting, sitting in a van — and yet I still want more? 

When there’s a million more miles to roam, 
I think of the life left for me back home:
A “paradise” to watch their “greener grass” grow, 
And all the time to be alone… ? 
But two weeks home cripple me
Because the trees don’t pass
And the lines don’t move
As the white walls collapse
On my ramblin’ boy blues that’s howlin’
Howlin’ for that open road because
No arms can hold
No home can warm
Like the gaze of the rays of a distant lost-highway sun.

When there’s a million more miles to roam, 
I think of the life left for me back home:
A “paradise” to watch their “greener grass” grow, 
And all the time to feel alone.

Pave paradise
Put the keys in
Turn the engine
Let the big green van drive me from this city
To anything but simplicity

To anywhere from this city, 
To anything but simplicity.

Self preservation

This is ambition: as ugly as it gets. Uncommon kids and their fight
against an early death by common sense. This is motivation: free of
contempt. Our generation has come of age…and left us here with
bitterness. So when you’re feeling jagged and you think you’ve gone
fucking mad: Salt your wounds.

Feel the sting of the things you never
had, the things you always wanted, and the things they said you would
never be.

Focus on the pain and find the strength to make your own
reality. Please understand…you only live your life but once. So
don’t hold back and don’t live it in a rut. For far too long we’ve
heard “life’s not like that” from timid souls: longing and filled with
regret. But why should we take advice from the
boring-working-brain-dead? We’re forward thinking youth and we can use
our own heads. Self Preservation!
