straylightrun

it takes more time than i've ever had
drains the life from me
makes me want to forget

as young as i was, i felt older back then
more disciplined, stronger and certain

but i was scared to death of eternity
i was saved by grace but destroyed by naivete

and i lied to myself and said it was for the best

and now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
i've disregarded what i was now that i'm older
and i know much more than i did back then
but the more i learn the more i can't understand

and i've become content with this life that i lead
where i drink too much and don't believe in much of anything
and i lie to myself and say 'it's for the best.'

we're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
and we're waiting on something that will never come
