Everyone does it
Yes, I’m aware
That doesn’t mean you had to
But you don’t seem to care
I remember when you were
My role model
My protector
My partner in crime
It was always
You and me, against time
But now I know
What it is you do
You’ve lost my trust
And confidence too
So I go alone
Down this path called life
As people I knew
People like you
Turn to ash
And blurry puddles
Before my eyes
I feel so small
I can’t tell you what to do
So we drive
And mind the taboo
But I refuse to do nothing
So I simply say
“Don’t die”
Eyes on the road
You say
“I’ll try”
I think of my friends
They changed long ago
They hand me a cup
“Here, swallow”
But it’s not really you
And it’s not really them
These people I knew
Just skeletons
Piles of bones
That beg me to stay
To join them
And start to decay
That’s not me
So I leave
I won’t join your pack
I run from the bones
And don’t look back
How could your pressures
Get a hold of me
When you yourself let go
Winters, summers
So long ago
You made your choice
And it hurts me to see
But I made a promise
And I’m sticking to me
One day you’ll notice
How much you have lost
Only then will you know
The ultimate cost
Yes you will see
In the end I win
And all because
I didn’t give in
