Intro

In my mind

 In a future five years from now

 I'm 120 pounds

 And I never get hungover

 Because I will be the picture of discipline

 Never minding what state I'm in

 And be someone I admire

 And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now

 But it does not seem to have happened

 Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see

 That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be

 And in my mind

 In the faraway here and now

 I've become in control somehow

 And I never lose my wallet

 Because I will be the picture of discipline

 Never fucking up anything

 And I'll be a good defensive driver

 And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now

 But it does not seem to have happened

 Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see

 That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be

 And in my mind

 When I'm old, I am beautiful

 Planting tulips and vegetables

 Which I will mindfully watch over --

 Not like me, now

 I'm so busy with everything

 That I don't look at anything

 But I'm sure I'll look when I am older

 And it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now

 But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow

 How strange to see ---- that I don't want to be the person that I want to be

 And in my mind

 I imagine so many things

 Things that aren't really happening

 And when they put me in the ground,

 I'll start pounding the lid, Saying "I haven't finished yet –

 I still have a tattoo to get

 That says 'I'm living in the moment'."

 And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight

 But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life

 But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die

That I am exactly the person that I want to be
