Life they say, is just a foolish game
The weeks and months and years with certainty will fade
When yesterday imposes on today
You do your best to turn your head and look away
And time's on no one's side
It works against you
The second hand erases everything you are
And death is not too far
Behind your footsteps
You're realizing, you're not getting very far
On a whim, unaware
That your life is hardly there
