POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Getting older (not wiser)
Nothing's changed but I'm still getting older
The days pass by as I wait around
For the world to change, but I just feel colder
I can't stay here and remain the same person
That wasted away and cried on your shoulder
No more of the same, cus I must get bolder
Still young but I can't rely on my youth
Cus at some point I have to face the truth
That time will pass me by if I don't live
Every day like it was my last
Or else I won't survive
and just be another who simply...
The days pass by as I wait around
For the world to change, but I just feel colder
I can't stay here and remain the same person
That wasted away and cried on your shoulder
No more of the same, cus I must get bolder
Still young but I can't rely on my youth
Cus at some point I have to face the truth
That time will pass me by if I don't live
Every day like it was my last
Or else I won't survive
and just be another who simply...

Is this It?
Verse:
Hour after hour we work, rest and then replay
The rewind makes you ask, is this it
Am I just throwing my life away?
Makes me wonder what my tombstone would say
If I were to leave this second, with all my mistakes
Would I smile at the end or just complain
While giving everyone else headaches
And not make a good end to my campaign
Pre-chorus:
Now that would be a tragic conclusion
And build more misery to the confusion
So I'll exceed every expectation ...
Hour after hour we work, rest and then replay
The rewind makes you ask, is this it
Am I just throwing my life away?
Makes me wonder what my tombstone would say
If I were to leave this second, with all my mistakes
Would I smile at the end or just complain
While giving everyone else headaches
And not make a good end to my campaign
Pre-chorus:
Now that would be a tragic conclusion
And build more misery to the confusion
So I'll exceed every expectation ...

Chasing Highs
Verse
All these highs give me so much
But take away everything
That I ever dreamed to touch
I fear I will never amount to much
The only thing to get me by
Are those fleeting highs
But they fall away in an instant
Now disappearing and feeling so distant
Makes me question my very existence
As the world keeps turning as I create a resistance
To the joys that kept me going through every war
So I ask myself what it was all for
Prechorus
...

Makes me question my very existence
As the world keeps turning as I create a resistance
To the joys that kept me going through every war
