I've just started living and I can already feel the lenses start to break Sense the veneer crack against this solid slate memory See the creases and folds of this bittersweet opus, *disaster A picture-perfect desecration, an arduous whiplash I may not be old but I can feel the age set into my bones Sense the muscles and their atrophy, *apathy See the wrinkles and puckers balloon from my skin A dotted landscape, a jagged puzzle piece  I may not be bored but I can feel the bugs under my skin Sense the wild, unfiltered urge of a sleeping giant, *mouse See the time and seconds flicker by without a second look A bullet train to nowhere, a jet plane doomed to fail  I may not be sad but I can feel the weight of everything Sense the cool blue water filling up the tank See everyone outside the glass smiling, *laughing An antelope in the lion's mouth, a snuffed out candle But the days go by so fast In the vast chaos of life And in the spiraling, sprawling expanse of time I've somehow lost you, *me

Quarter-Life Crisis
I've just started living and I can already feel the lenses start to break Sense the veneer crack against this solid slate memory See the creases and folds of this bittersweet opus, *disaster A picture-perfect desecration, an arduous whiplash I may not be old but I can feel the age set into my bones Sense the muscles and their atrophy, *apathy See the wrinkles and puckers balloon from my skin A dotted landscape, a jagged puzzle piece  I may not be bored but I can feel the bugs under my skin Sense the wild, unfiltered urge of a sleeping giant, *mouse See the time and seconds flicker by without a second look A bullet train to nowhere, a jet plane doomed to fail  I may not be sad but I can feel the weight of everything Sense the cool blue water filling up the tank See everyone outside the glass smiling, *laughing An antelope in the lion's mouth, a snuffed out candle But the days go by so fast In the vast chaos of life And in the spiraling, sprawling expanse of time I've somehow lost you, *me
