Some Advice
by Nick Arneson
I wanna deal
With this before you get past
The hard ways of
Feeling, as they tend to last
And there’s a lot of ways
That aren’t the best
Keep you down for days
Highs an hour, best
Or the kind that open doors
Not easily shut
Your sanity is yours
Gotta go chin up
I’ve seen too many nights
Of unrivaled bliss
Turn to endless blight
Chasing is the abyss
Because I laughed with her
And it was all I ever needed
Been looking everywhere
I just hadn’t succeeded
Sometimes just headphones
A silent break with only
Supernatural in tones
So dark and stormy
Life seems so much
Harder than it might be
I’m not convinced of which
Side I wanna see
Signs are loud and clear
I’m headed somewhere big
Just need to replace the fear
When I find my ministry
Any opening line will do
Any lick of the flames
Take noise over never do
Can’t remember your names
don’t do too much
But Get loose when you need
It’s handy in a pinch
When life’s too much to see
Had to throw in the towel
Never learned how to play
Here’s hoping it won’t sour
Before you find your way
