Everything breaks It's not about how you can momentarily fix something It not about how much you love it It's about time What is time you ask? Time is simply about deterioration Every **** second we are closer to death Time is a ***** a ***** that just won't forgive What can you do about it? You can choose to hug trees instead of humans You can simply not get close to anyone You can shut everything out and pretend to exist   The thing is, yes everything will die You can't control that You can decide to just **** yourself Because you're going to die anyway right? Or you can take a moment to cherish what you do have, or what you might have Set all life after death beliefs aside and look around Look at the road crumbling Look at the blood dripping down your skin And then turn around and look at life Take in the times when you get to see your girlfriend smile The times when life overtakes death Take in the moment your little sister comes to you crying and tells you about how no one cares And then tell her that you care about her and that you'll never stop caring about her, and let her hug you Take a moment to touch a tree and feel how connected it is the earth Take a moment to truly feel life And when you start to feel like you're dying Remember that day where you felt like you were bigger than death It's a constant battle isn't it? Between living and letting death win Between losing time and defying it And maybe you don't win But life isn't about winning Life is about the game And I've had days when I'm slipping And I've had days when I feel infinite Take some time to truly love someone Because love is infinite It's not an object, it's a feeling A feeling time can't just destroy Tell people how much they mean to you Hug them while you can Watch them live Because one day you won't be able to So you can hug trees instead of humans But your tree will eventually die And you can decide to not let someone hurt you But pain is apart of life All I'm saying is Yes we die But we also live And I'm telling you, I hold on to the way my girlfriend smiles and the way my brother hugs me because that's what makes me feel alive. That's how I defy time

Defy time
