You're Alive Right Now

I am unrecognizable to myself
I don’t mean when I look in the mirror
Ideas and ideals I held near
Evolved and all but disappeared
But you’re alive right now
Sometimes I feel like an experiment or a bet
Like on “Trading Places”
The promised riches bearing no resemblance
To the secret truth
Like all the millions of sperm that died
So that you might live
The likelihood of your parents having met
Or their parents, or their parents,
Etcetera
Que sera sera
Because you’re alive right now
And I’m alive right now
So hold on to it
Like you never held on to anything before
What you do with it
Doesn’t really matter
As long as you’re sure
That your alive right now
And I’m alive right now

I don’t think you’re a monster
But I don’t throw words like that around
It just seems like you only understand one side of the coin
As you press on your thumbnail
Pressure building to the breaking point
When you flip
And you float
And you fall
Goddamn if any one knows how you land
What do you do when all the light bulbs burn out
And the food in the fridge goes bad
What do you do when no one picks you up
Or counts on you again
I don’t think you’re a sadist
But I don’t throw words like that around
It just seems like you only understand one side of the fear
As you bang your head against the mirror
Through which you look at the whole world
And you rattle
And you shake
And you roll
Goddamn if anyone knows how you land
What do you do when all the light bulbs burn out
And the food in the fridge goes bad
What do you do when no one picks you up
Or counts on you again
