There comes a time amidst all the lies

When it becomes clear who lives and dies

Everyone just floats along

Pressing repeat on the same old song

Casually wondering why things are so bland

It never occurs to pause and survey the land

The big picture appears to be hidden from sight

It doesn’t dawn on them to simply turn on the light

Just stand up and take a look around

Rock the boat and shatter the shakles that have you bound

Don’t let fear hold you back

Worrying about that which you think you lack

It sounds cliché but you know its true

All you need is tucked away safe within you

They say in ten years none of this will matter

While that may be true, it’s right now that you’re in tatters

Just because something will soon fade away

Doesn’t make it any less important to you today

Those who know this and see the truth

Will survive the test of the photo booth

A single moment, captured in a flash

A single wish, made upon a fallen lash

Sit a spell and gather the balance that you need

Let the scales tip and you will inevitably bleed

You may harm the present, or possibly the future that you see

But your life is yours. Take control, don’t let it be.
