“If it gets you anything, it’s nothing
And what’s there will leave in time”
Go away
“The time and effort that you put in is just part of your life wasted”
I long to forget these words and do what I want to do
I will not forgo my dreams and what they mean to me
“There’s no living where you’re going You’ll just die a quicker death
This is not the life we intended for you” Then what was it?
“Or anyone sensible, responsible” Do I have to, too?
I long to forget these words and do what I want to do
I’ll get there all on my own because you’ve never been there
So fuck you two
So fuck you, too
I hope that you understand that I’ll never follow your plans
