The Umbilical Cord

in independence •  6 years ago 

"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground, what have we found?
same old fears... wish you were here"

Wow, it never seems to get old. It never seems to tire me out... this suffocating comfort. I hate it, get me out of here!
And if only the message would get across, if only the message would turn into action.
I can't live like this anymore, I can't keep coming back to comfort. I can't keep coming back to sticky sinking quicksand...
Let go already. And the more I resist it the more I panic. It seems to like my company.

independence
noun [ U ] UK ​ /ˌɪn.dɪˈpen.dəns/ US ​ /ˌɪn.dɪˈpen.dəns/
the ability to live your life without being helped or influenced by other people:

"It's important that parents should allow their children some independence".

I can't do this anymore, where's the contract? I want to sign me off. Responsability - I'll take it, Just leave me out of this old scene, know all the lines by heart now...
And what's holding me back anyway?
Comfort... bittersweet seasoning to life. Highway to decay.
