VERSE
The path we're on won't mean a thing unless we have success; they're always breathing down our necks.
I don't want us to be the kind of people whose lives are a chore, the ones that we'd ignore with their forced intimacy.

PRE-CHORUS
While we do have fun, when it's all said and done, what will we have left in reserve?

CHORUS
Don't waste your breath like lighter fluid and watch it burn out twice as fast. The rush to mature is just a race to a vision of the life you could have had.
When your imagination starts to rust, you'll just become a husk of your former self, and the fun we had will be an unpleasant reminder that it's coming to an end.

BRIDGE
With a foot in the grave, there's no point running wild.
Take advantage of the time you've got and the people by your side.
Don't let her get away.
The poems I write are the basis for lyrics I use in my songs.
Q Sep 2014
And like the fluid
in this lighter we slowly
burn ourself away

*s.q.
