one’s own demise

stayed up late again

and now the sun rises

i will waste the day in vain

but it’s not what the real surprise is

my face in shape none recognizes

i happen to be in terrible condition

i made a mistake again with such precision

I’ve got nothing to live or worry about

And no real new year’s resolution

aimlessly around I linger

like a once so famous singer

Of a long forgotten era

darker times, for me, again come in heat

But I am no enemy they could beat

let them come my love

let them storm the gate,

let them come my love

let them come in large scale

cause once more, I will stand tall

and once more I will prevail
