I Won't Let the Bastards Get Me Down

[media=https://youtu.be/lRSMLBG3GC0]

Lost my mind in all of those times
The times that I lost, and I cannot rewind
The millions of instances all quite the same
Thousands of instances where I've gone insane

Such a weird little setting
Happenstances lead to circumstance.
I cannot circumvent a complete lack of intent
And though it still rains, I've learned to dance.

The world comes from every side
But reality stands right in front of me
The truths that I find
are those truths that I seek

They weren't what I wished for
But they're all that I can see
I tell you the truth,
that truth isn't for the meek !

The tests and the real trials
Tribulations compounded by the vial
There is no clear path to your denial
When the truth's laid out for you in miles

All these thoughts that I keep thinking
Wishing while I'm still blinking
Waiting for that wish I made so long ago
To keep me from the brinking.....

Lessons left in all that's turned
Learning the things that I've already leaned
The truth is still there and still it's spurned
A teacher disregarded, as his whole world burns.....
