Life Reuben

I am smart and I’m fast

I wonder where everybody’s gone on this night

I hear regret every place I go

I see pain in everybody’s eyes

I want strength from earth

I am smart and I’m fast



I pretend the world won’t end

I feel lonely here by myself

I touch the ending place for us

I worry I won’t live long enough to say goodbye

I cry about death of my loved ones

I am smart and I’m fast



I understand that live is short and cruel

I say we’ll get through this when I think wrong

I dream of some place else

I try to live just long enough to see the light

I hope against fate

I am smart and I’m fast
