He's twenty-seven,
still dreaming about his dreams.
I'm nineteen,
still not sure of my dreams.

Eight year difference...
People say I've got so many years ahead,
that I've still got a long way to go.
Do I really?

I was 11 when I thought life would be a journey of forever.
Eight years later...
I found out
life is short.

Even if I live til I'm eighty,
or a hundred, or a thousand years old,
life would still be short.

It is shorter than a shot of tequila
Shorter than the memory of a goldfish
Shorter than the form of Zacchaeus
Shorter than the shorts Jakarta teenagers wear to malls these days

Time does not run slow like a snail
Time flies faster than the speed of light
Eight years from now is gonna be tomorrow
Who knows what lies ahead?

Eight years from now is gonna be right now
What could stop time?
Don't have an answer to that.

I don't know.

What I know is
that in the end,
we're all basically just shadflies crying for more days.

Pity.
