It begins as it ends,
Born into the world out of nothing,
& Then you’re dead.
Back into nothing again.
This is a message from me,
Something that I need to say to my past self.
A temporal soliloquy,
To a boy who likes to hide away in his own world.
Hold on to your seat,
From here things are only speeding up.
Hold on to your dreams, Time takes everything.
Take me back to nowhere.
Put me back onto my throne.
Take me from the here & now or give me something real to care about.
I waste all of my energy worrying about what I don’t know.
& Always giving myself headaches over the things I can't control.
I'm burning up my youthful days,
& The curtains closing,
But I can never seem to get away.
I got a message, received,
Something that passed down to me from my future self.
“Can you see what’s really happening?
The roof above collapsing in.”
Blood for blood,
We’ve all got our demons to overcome.
Everyone’s suffering.
& No autopsy of my future self,
Will get me any closer to the clarity I long for.
I waste all of my energy worrying about what I don’t know.
& Always giving myself headaches over the things I can't control.
I'm burning up my youthful days, On anything that I can find that helps me to escape.
While all the world around me decays,
I keep on searching, as minutes turn to hours…
Fade away.
Leave it alone,
You’re on, your own,
If you can’t fill that hole,
Nothing will.
It can’t be stopped. It can’t be beat,
Time takes everything.
It begins as it ends.
Sudden life. Sudden death.
