you always spoke of a brighter future were you referring to the 9 to 5 jobs? to the apple pie life or the romance lacking relationship with your wife? did you mean the mortgages, the taxes, or the men with grey hair in grey suits? the jobs you do just for the money or the people who speak too much, but are still mute? did you mean the polluted skies or the cursing taxi drivers? did you mean the way when she touches you, you feel no fire? how nothing makes you feel alive but you’re still not really dead? how nothing is wrong but you’re itching to put a bullet through your head? when you said you were working towards a better future did you mean a life of monotony, dullness and boredom? what happened to your love of adventure, of mystery, to your dreams of martyrdom?
looking back now, would you take it all back? would you change the way you did things fill in the gaps? or would you continue to oblige to the rules and regulations would you still mindlessly follow the system? would you carry on doing what they tell you? those who bossed you around, would you still be with them? or would you soar and fly ask questions, ask why? would you run in the jungles and climb the highest mountains would you swim in the seas and tell your beloveds that you love them?
we only have one life and we’re always waiting for it to change we’re working towards a future to which we have no claim live, live, I beg you to live make mistakes and fall then get back on your feet don’t hesitate, take it all for the future is not ours and the past is too late but we have the present don’t let it go to waste
