As I

Every year I get older
the weather grows colder
and the rose starts to fade
and everything is grey
 
As I look to a new day
with the same damn routines
stuck in the same place
all the motives, not the means
 
I hope for a new way
to lead the life I live
For Ive handed over everything
Ive nothing left to give
 
As I pace in my bedroom
contemplate a new life
in my mind I create
my own person’s demise
 
And its not what I wish for
and its not where Ill be
but its the only thing left
thats calling for me
 
Some days I feel high
cause Im floating in space
in the place where I lie
I can see my own face
 
I do not see anger
cannot find sadness
but the look in my eye
is filled with madness
 
I cant see where Im going in
run straight into the black
no lights and no signs
no way to turn back
 
Some mornings are lit
by the stars of the sky
and my hours of early
turn into the night
 
I wonder where the days are
if they’re gone, gone for good
if I could back and change things
Im not sure I would
 
My eyes grow heavy
but my heart has grown light
the moment you met me
you became my sight
 
Now I race forward
waiting for the finish line
but Im moving too fast
need to keep you mine
 
Every year I get older
and my memories fade
but your head on my shoulder
entices the warmth to stay
