A Work in progress...

Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Wasted Your Whole Life?
There's something that I've noticed
It took me by surprise
But now it's just as blatant
As the pinpoints in your eyes
Those eyes, now barely focused
Your smile, so fixed and wide
I really thought you'd have more sense
I hoped you have some pride
Don't think it's not been noticed
There's something quite amiss
In the way you hold yourself aloft
Like a lush out on the piss
Don't take me for an idiot
I've seen this all before
We all can guess at what goes on
Behind that bathroom door
Don't think it makes you special
Or even ups your cool
To your face they smile and nod their heads
Turn your back, they say “what a fool”
Now you might not have noticed
As the rumours start to soar
What starts off as a whisper
Can become a deafening roar
So tell me, do you notice?
When you're climbing up those walls
The higher that you take yourself
The further you have to fall.
I hope in time you'll notice
From beneath that powdery haze
It's only you can find the way
To escape your self-made maze
