I dread pulling the same shift as you cause I don't wanna try to act aloof it's hard cause my heart is telling me to try and take my chances with you but i dont wanna hurt myself anymore what's the point of love if you cant see beyond just being together a swandive to a life of codepency, for the life of me i dont want that, i dont want that but i can't look at your skin and say im not in, the whole attraction pursuit of satisfaction, in life partners make everything easier in the begginning but it gets impossible at the end that's why i dont wanna even bother and I dread pulling the same shift as you cause I don't wanna try to act aloof it's hard cause my heart is telling me to try and take my chances with you but i dont wanna hurt myself anymore but doesnt stop, from being significantly nicer to you than the other coworkers it just feels good, to see you feel good and i want that, and i want that but doesnt mean i have to be a fixture in your life right, i don't need your undying affection i tell myself, that this is easier lie to lead, simpler one at least that's why i dont wanna even bother and When I am, near you i wanna, tell you what im feeling, but i know its no use, confusion is all that can come from you knowing Im trying to preemptively move on, and that is why i've been awkward as hell round you

I clock in, I clock out I don't realize its been a month then a year then two, then next thing you know they're askin me too, stay to more look at the offer, not that bad than past me called, calls me mad What about your dreams, to be a rock star name for yourself, and just going far away from here the ratrace you fear but i've gotten comfortable with this life it aint much, not isnt nothing at all I can see myself living out the days just workin 9 to 5, going home to video games I log in, I log out and i look down, what have I done with my life (nothing of worth), with my time (wasted my youth) with my oppurtunities (ungrateful bastard), but what to do? everything disappoints and i have no fucks left to give and i've gotten comfortable with this life it aint much, not isnt nothing at all I can see myself living out the days just workin 9 to 5, going home to video games facebook, twitter, youtube, tumblr instagram and vine, and whatever in vogue that makes me fine so i dont have to deal with real world someday i will have to change someday i will have to be more than myself but that day is not today and i've gotten comfortable with this life it aint much, not isnt nothing at all I can see myself living out the days just workin 9 to 5, going home to video games Walked past HR, caught in a daydream about giving my fabled two weeks notice
