Nothing's stopping you from changing
Why the same thing all the time This is it for me, I'm aging In this world that I call mine Searching through the deepest caverns Looking high into the sky Nothing's lost but something's broken Repairs are useless, We're out of time If I died today, I'm sorry but it wouldn't change Sometimes I barely feel alive If I live to see the day when nothing happens, nothing stays Nothing grounds us like a life taken away For what it's worth, if you died I couldn't bring myself to cry I'd miss nothing but time Yet you're alive to hear me say These words unpacked and here to stay I miss my life Why the long face, what's the matter Life is short, well, what the f**k I'd break some glass under a ladder If I'd collapse from the bad luck Stop and think with me again No use talking, I won't listen I see the goal, is this the end Well, we were fooled It's just the intermission If I died today, would I look back and wish I'd stayed Would something change, would it be different Live, love, laugh at me What kind of sorrow can you see Poetic words won't save us now I saw the whole world die today No one was spared, no one was saved No one was left to see the changes that were made Keeping up was just a tool Did I forget the golden rule No one's happy, no one's sad Nothing's good and nothing's bad © 2014 Jimmy DeadmanAuthor's Note
