According to Buddha

If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat, he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat were empty, he would not be shouting, and not angry. If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you, no one will seek to harm you…. 

i don’t wanna wait
we’re used to the night that leaves us unstable
we’re used to the night we take more than we’re able
we’re used to the night and whatever’s on the table
you don’t wanna wait
i don’t wanna wait
take, take anything
i don’t wanna wait
take, take anything
you know that i’d take
take, take anything
i don’t wanna wait
