are they invincible

December 3, 1998

when things get tough, when you get the bad breaks,
well, they get better
eventually they do

people don’t think about killing themselves
I mean, not as a real option
you’d have to be crazy, right?
It will get better. Trust me.

no one wants to think about the bad stuff
everyone wants to see the light at the end of the tunnel
no one wants to think that bad things can happen to them

are they invincible?

sometimes things don’t work out that way, you know

no, you don’t want to think about the bad stuff
you want to think about the things
that are supposed to make life grand for you

we all want that, don’t we
