Busy Being...Lost

Funny how we fill our time
With being busy with something
That doesn't matter at all
Except that it keeps us busy.

Then we can get our minds off
That thing that nags us
It gives us a buzz
Like we are getting somewhere

When we've only succeeded
In getting lost
At least for a little while.
