As the vagabonds sleep a restless slumber
They rest of us work like wood they lumber
As the night draws in, the vagabonds wake
Waiting for a victim to try to compensate
For a life they chose when the choice was made
For a frivolous existence, the past, farewell they bade
They were never born this way
The life edged itself til normality came far away
Because normal is boring
And this life is imploring
Me to be what I want to be
But this trap of an existence is so far from me
To know thyself is an enlightened ideal
A pursuit towards something so surreal
That reality becomes ethereal
But still I’ve got to afford my next meal
Stuck between resistance and an eclectic existence
Where survival becomes insistent
And life a bit more consistent
Without the boredom bred by consistency
It will be the start of my malignancy
Then I will live life more persistently
A life beyond mortal jealousy
Can somebody please believe me
Spend a few moments to listen to me
Hear what I say, life will lead you astray
If you don’t control the beast
I‘m done, I’m moving East.
