In progress

I'll be developing this potential lyric as thoughts come to me . . . 

I don't want to spend my life
watching actors playing roles
competition for the goal
of capturing attention

I'm not going to get excited
when the plots do twist and turn
as the characters all learn
lessons sometimes dubious

I don't want to sit beside you
while the screen just flickers on
waiting for the light to dawn
that our time is worth much more

I don't want to idly watch
inertia claim another toll
it sucks the life out of my soul
the things we're settling for

Refrain? Bridge? 1?
There's unspeakably more to life
I need there to be more to me
than hours wasted day by day
grey nights sucked dry of all glee

Refrain? Bridge? 2?
We have only finite moments
And once they've finally all retired
I don't want my heart to cry out
For opportunities expired
