Do Lyrics

Do

What am I to do with my life?

What is anyone to do with his or her life?

There is too much noise about the topic

but very little silence and peace

very little space to really figure out something

I know I’ll never succeed

at least not in the way my parents hoped I would

I know I am mostly lost

but are we all not lost?

are we all not worried about the future?

are we all not worried about who we are?

are we all not worried about being accepted

and about what to do with our lives?

Should I now believe their myths

and pray for enlightenment?

Should I praise their numbers

and their labels and their beauty codes?

Should I ask their institutions to fix my flaws?

I’m not the only socially crippled

ill-suited for conventional life

I am not the only wandering

meandering, living one day at a time

I have found more

outcasts beyond a doubt

gorgeous disasters

embracing who they really are

What am I to do now?

Live while I still can

Be certain of the fact

that whatever I do with my life

is exclusively up to me.
