Origin

I stare into eternity

always one step ahead of me

I touch its wake every single day

but it slips from my grip and away

when what was given is gone

a one-way road to oblivion

and as I fight for just one more breath

I awake to the reality of death

you wouldn't ever want to try

see through my eyes

you'd break like a child inside

if you ever realized

through a mirror of time

I see your reflection

in the image that is me

I won't be around for too long

I too will see oblivion

and as I struggle to hang on

my life will fade until I'm gone

It's my secret number

and everybody wins this one

it's not as if time is on my side

we all drown in the same tide

you wouldn't ever want to try

see through my eyes

you'd break like a child inside

if you ever realized

on an everlasting sea

the tide of evolution goes on

for eternityI stare into eternity

always one step ahead of me

I touch its wake every single day

but it slips from my grip and away
