It Won't Last

It didn't last, as an explorer searching the stars is doomed to die, in wanderlust Katahdin cast a deep shadow, that kissed the essence of being but it didn't last Again I'm here with my cup and pack in this weary hole in the ground Spilling words to nobody in particular, with no true meaning other than simple release This won't last either, it'll be buried by others burdens, more meaningful ones Mine is simply that of being alive, when I never asked to be Paying taxes I never agreed to, paying to be just live, when I never fucking accepted the contract but here I am, in a world of others ideals mine get pushed aside for their own but I can rest easy knowing that like all else it won't last.
