Absent ambition


I'm too lazy to do my hair

Don't ask me to get out of bed

Success and ambition are like a pair

Much like failure is to regret.

 

I can and will stay in my home

I don't have to accomplish much

And corrode until all of my bones

Wither away into dust

 

Or...carpe diem into the sunset

Take life by it's wicked horns

And live my life with no regret

Partake of roses without the thorns

 

I guess I can say my ambition keeps me alive

The power it gives me to want to survive!
