Cheers to the world that is us
To the ones who aren't complete
We haven't made families
We've lost part of ours
No children or marriages
We've been through more than that
The sabotage of a drifter's past
Through a lot of nothings at all
We thought we were chasing dreams
But were we really running from fear
Life is thought to be linear
And ideally perfect it may be
But we ran in other circles
Whether by choice or as a result
Of the ones we didn't know
Or those that we ignored
Time slipped through cracks in time
It never really waited for us
And our futures were like snowfall
No one could predict the ****
But it never really mattered much
For we lived in the moment
Basked in the memory
Sang in the sunlight
Danced in the moonshine
Swam underneath our silhouettes
Flew high above our sinking souls
Cried out at the inevitable,
**** tomorrow, for I could be dead
But here we are today,
Tomorrow's yesterday
Are we wandering aimlessly
Did we have it all wrong
Have we always been alone
Is it too late to be happy
Or do we have it all right
Are we the lucky ones
For we have felt it all
Life death
Fear courage
Strength weakness
Danger adventure
Adrenaline anxiety
Sadness shame
Guilt sorrow
All to the extreme
So when happiness
Becomes of us
We feel it
Infinite
