lyrics

“I’m Not Getting Any Younger”

The days are starting to get shorter and I’m not getting any younger. Each sundown brings me one night closer to six feet under. I poured my whole life into a dream…
but dreams aren’t what they seem. One moment I’m floating through the clouds—
The next the rug is pulled from my feet.

It’s the ebbs and flows that let me know it’s time for introspection. Without the ups and downs I’m a flatlined, lifeless sound with no sign of resurrection.

…And I can’t deny the cruel of time.

When the sorrow steps into the light it wins the fight verses all joy in my life.

When my demons wake they’ll do their best to take all that’s left of me. They’ll strip my sail at sea and leave me circling. The current decides my destiny

Now I can’t deny what I feel inside.

When the despair pulls with all its might it wins the fight—drowning all hope in my life.

What’s life?—just time. What’s life?—just time and thoughts and actions. What’s life?—just time and thoughts and actions, and people just disappointing you.

It’s looking forward to the plans just fall through. It’s dropping the ball tied with one on third—You’re the reason that you lose. It’s the pain—the suffering that makes you feel some kind of truth. And we endure the lowest lows to feel the highs when they roll through.
