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 awaywhen 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 deathyou 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 meI 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 goneIt'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 tideyou 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
