The Fray - Absolute

Ive seen this one before, the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

Its a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and its a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

we always hope for things that dont exist.
I'm standing under a white flag

this shall be a motivational post for everyone.
including myself.

it's exam time again.
study time.
you know the idea of studying is getting so dumb and shit.
you just want to stop.
relax.
have a little fun.
anyway it's still some time to go.
a few hours?
a few days?
weeks?

yeah just stop.
give up.
lower your chances of getting promoted.
lower the chances of getting your desired job.
of your desired course in uni.
maybe your desired friends when you have no choice but to migrate.

forsake your friends now.
your parents, who put much hope into your future.
even when they don't believe in you,
believe in yourself,
because you know you can be better than that to give up.

stop studying because you want to break the tradition.
be an outcast.
a retainer.
be at a lower grade than EVERYONE your age.
waste one life away.

get addicted to the computer,
gaming,
tv,
and whatever slack methods.
because you allowed your determination to waver,
allowed your devils' temptation to have some fun.

look back into your life now,
look back into the past where you regretted not studying for your exams.
regret getting 10 points for O levels and end up being an appeal student.
regret not studying for mid years and get EEESS.
regret not doing tutorials and listening to lectures and end up with so much work to cover.

would this be one of your regrets again?
regret not keeping your determination up and end up getting retained?
regret succumbing to temptation?

we can do this.
there's still time.
put in all your effort NOW,
succumb only to necessities like food and sleep.
6-8 hours of sleep,
1-3 hours of food.
there's near 10 hours a day.

because you know you can be better than that,
you can be better than that kid down the street who is a dropout.
you can be better than that auntie who begs for coupons and vouchers.
you can be better than that officeman finding every chance to slack off.

in your heart,
you are the best.
and you will not spoil yourself because you know,
if you do that,
you are not the best;
and you will not be.

lets do this.
