I'm not having any fun.

As Woody Allen said, "Life is divided into the horrible, and the miserable." I'm paraphrasing.

I'm not having any fun.
Most of the time I find good cause.
I've got a reason I won.
My new names been drawn from a ripped off hat.
Who is it you're thinking of?

I'm the generic son.
Most of the time I still run.
I tried to make a scene,
that would transfer from the screen
into your dreams and be gone.
There are thing I know I want.

I still don't know what I'm doing.
I watch a movie, then write a song
Have some faith in cause's, love.
Have faith in anyone.

No one ever lies
if that's what you want to believe.
I ripped out my eyes,
if only to hide,
but I still see them when I sleep.

From the ashes again,
my feet are drawing maps for friends.
I hope you're having fun,
while each day I'm dying young.

You said you need a friend.
You went and bought a gun.
Now you haunt my holy ghost.
What do you need the most?

I need only one.
I want to know what you need.
I need to know what you want.

I didn't like it so much til the middle stanza, but then I'm not a huge fan of lyrics usually, and I was spoiled by your awesome poetry. But those three stanzas before the last three lines are butter, and the early stanzas are good for working up to them. They are pretty accessible, just not my cup of tea, so much. Overall very nice. I'm sure you have a fine career as a musician...just say no to the illuminazis though

the poetry is where I shake it all out, the lyrics are when I break the words down, and simplify. I write to understand my relationships with people. I try to use it to better my real life, not run away from it. I go through so many complexities in my brain on a regular basis and sometimes I need to remember whats right in front of me. The goal is to be able to use simple language in metered form to unravel after multiple listens into layering concepts. I don't think I'm there yet...but I try.
I googled Illuminazies and didn't get much info on it. Could you humor me and clarify?
