A Kingdom Without a King

I'm a cloud drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a snail without a shell
A leper with a golden bell
I've got nowhere to go
I'm a stray cat on the roam
Choking on a chicken bone
For a home sweet, no sweet home

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
For something, somebody, that reminded them of me

Running with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless, I'm rootless

Work your fingers to the bone
Building castles out of snow
I'm a nomad walking on
Humming to the same old song
Lower case society
Tied to no community
A kingdom without a king

With no sense of belonging

Good Enough Ain't Shit

Good enough is passable. Good enough is settling for what you've already got. Good enough is a 6.5/10 girl on a drunken night. Good enough is NOT great. People everyday settle for good enough. Settling means that you no longer have to work hard. Settling is basically retirement.
