Just Because

A story for the road

Watching time grow old

He forgot what he wrote

Drinking bleach

To kill the mold

Inside his skull

He wanted to say it

But he didn't know how to start

He watched the raindrops

Sliding down his window

He wanted to be like that

He wanted to be important

He sat by the girl of his dreams

Admiring her laughter

He didn't want to speak

He would just ruin it

He sat in silence

In her astonishing beauty

Her eyes closed

They opened again

He was there before

And he was there then

No ambition to be

No ambition to grow

He was just there

Wondering

How was he so lucky

To be where he was

He had no purpose

Why was he made?

He was a religious sinner

Smoking because he could

Drinking because he should

Thinking because he didn't know better

Living because he was alive

Caring because he had nothing else

Passing

Scuse me

Pardon me 

Comin through

Look out 

Look down

Come in

Tomorrows the day

It's official

I passed the test

I'm halfway there

Sooner then later

I'll be on the road

On the highway

Take me to madre

She's a queen

And I'm the compadre

I'll be the steed

You can ride me all night

The questions are simple

The exams have been passed

It's written in stone

For once I won't be last

First of its kind

A dog on the road

My fair lady

Electric mistress

You never cease to shock me

With your signals of distress

Hold me tight

Never let go

Get a good look

I won't be around long

But rest assured

I'll always come home to you

Even though on most days

I'm just passing through

Death of Today

Rest in peace

Today has been lived

There will never be another the same

The clock strikes 12

A new day dawns

Another date

Men have died

Children have been born

I'm still here 

And so are you

But something's different

We're older, stronger

I was told once

"The day you do not learn something new is the day that you die"

Congratulations

You've learned something

And so have I

Take life by surprise

Watch the sun rise

Take a second to stand still

Look around

Open your eyes

There's always something new

Read a book

Take a picture

Draw a portrait

Tell them what you know

We can be immortal

But what's the use? 

The death of today

It's been here too long

The sun knows more than the earth

And void knows nothing

It's infinite

And we're all getting sucked in

Scoff

In my eyes, I'm not lazy

In my face, It's not over

In your room, I'm not older

In your eyes, I'm not worth it

Gimme back my alcohol 

Heal a million, kill a million 

In my eyes, I'm not lazy

In my face, It's not over

In your room, I'm not older

In your eyes, I'm not worth it

Gimme back my alcohol 

Heal a million, kill a million 

In my eyes, I'm not lazy

In my face, It's not over

In your room, I'm not older

In your eyes, I'm not worth it

Gimme back my alcohol 

Heal a million, kill a million
