lyrics

How do you get through the day not overwhelmed and in terror
Every time I see my face I want to break the fucking mirror
Pulling back the skin like a curtain on stage
To reveal the faded youth that’s been stolen by age

I don’t know how the fuck you do it, how the hell you’re coping
A partial glance at my reflection fuck I’m feeling hopeless
Mortality is evident, obscurity is coming
It’s a winding road to a dead end there is no running from it

Youth is squandered on the young wisdom on the older
The start was hot then it was warm and now it’s getting colder
The future’s bright but getting dim the shadows on your shoulder
You muster up a final breath and blink and then it’s over

Every thing was so important
Until the moment came when nothing really fucking mattered
Cause the reaper’s right behind you so you think if you go faster
It’ll make a single difference but it doesn’t end of chapter

Put your book upon the shelf so many people walking passed it
Till your memory’s forgotten and they toss it in the trash bin
What don’t you understand
This is how it’s gone since the Dawn of man

And the clock keeps ticking, you keep slipping
Thinking that you’ll live forever error committed
Shit is tragic, no matter what you do it’s going to happen
Death is patiently awaiting for your last breath
