The Regression To the Mean
The bright side of waking up
Are those few precious seconds
When you don’t recall all your failures
Right before the feeling disappears you get an infinite feeling
The dark side of waking up
Isn’t that moment when reality hits
But forgetting the dream you used to escape from reality
You try desperately to grasp the dream and hold onto it
The positive of a Friday
Isn’t the start of the weekend
But the calm right before the big storm
Everyone smiles oblivious to what happens next
The negative of a Friday
Isn’t the storm
But the moment right after the storm
When the tragedy reaps all of its consequences
The perfection in a Monday
Is when you get that feeling
Like you have a brand new start for the week
You think of all the happiness this new start will bring
The fault in a Monday
Isn’t when you realize that your thoughts of a new beginning were misleading
But when you wake up knowing the fantasy is over
And you’re back to reality
The beauty in the night
Isn’t that you get to sleep
But watching the stars and the moon brighten up the sky
It makes you believe in anything
The ugly in the night
Isn’t knowing that the shelter of night will disappear
But that feeling that somewhere out there something creeps in the darkness
And it haunts your soul
The greatness in Heaven
Isn’t eternity
But spending that eternity with the people you love
The Torture in Hell
Was never the pain
But suffering through that pain and torture alone
