"I would rather die living, than live dying"

hammock

Time itself is bringing down our life
on the ground then we almost made it
Everything gets older every day
all the while the rare moments like sunsets sadly fade away

Everything is in these moments
in sunsets and sunrises we knew
yet in the end
truly there are few

moments are never a getting younger
every day begins and ends
through some perpetual hunger
hopes collapse and fade away
these meanings we recall at the end

take your time while looking back
on the times of life passed away
a time of wanting to find a better place
a childish hope on a better place to play

All the places we will never go
never to see again a look on your face
moments feeling like they wouldnt end
oh the days I wish I just might saved

holding on loosely to what never lasts
you must let go when the moments are sold
like decisions the die is cast
love eternal sacrificed for the past

nights are never warm by looking back
without that touch memories leave you sad
memories of days saved, days together
recall them in the sun the stars the weather

pile up destruction by regrets
emptiness like an empty pest
swallow darkness in a tear
nonetheless only one place was ever a place of rest

selling self when theres more to buy
delusion of the heart worth the why
sadness as gifts given to less than the sum
loss of warmth of countless setting suns

tender moments filled once filled every need
with the one true kiss when it all was peace
the only truth those days swinging between trees
when the world was right and laughter was so deep
