Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
The streets we travel on
Will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile
Holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come
But I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us
Changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight
Follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah
Or kiss your lips again? Whoa
So I never want to leave you
And the memories of us to see, I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day (I stand here alone)
Silence you lost me (falling away from you)
No chance for one more day (no chance to get back home)
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day (I stand here alone)
Silence you lost me (falling away from you)
No chance for one more day (no chance to get back home)

    <<<<< This song is beautiful and a FUCKING MASTERPIECE. >>>>>>

    it tugs your heart strings thats for sure and especially now that the Rev has tragically left us.

    That Fuckn Sux Fuckn ASS, he was an extreeeeemley talented artist and it will be hard to recover from.

    Some people just dont get it do they, A7X are so smart and incredibly talented at creating and playing music, some people just cant grasp it. Its like beautiful poetry and like any great poetry past and/or present, not everyone gets it and some think they get it but are way off base. I mean there are poetry classes and literature classes for this shit and most may not seem to make sense to everyone but the writers knew damn well what they were writing and the message they were trying to get across. And these guys truly create and play music from their hearts, so you must also listen with yours. So dont beat yourself up about it, but if you're one of those types who talk shit about these guys (A7X that is - fuck sorry not putting down poetry but excluding it for this) just because they dont understand what their listening to:

           SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!

    These guys are extremely devoted to their music and fan base, and pour their hearts into their music they make for us and we love and appreciate them for that, so if you dont like it shut the fuck up and change the channel.

    To all of the real A7X fans out there, keep on supporting these guys, they need our support right now more than ever with the recent loss of their brother Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. So go the FUCK out there and tell everyone that you know and even dont know about their new CD coming out which is going to be attributed in honor of Jimmy. Tell all and lets make this mutherfucker go platinum so quick that it makes the world spin faster. R.I.P. Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan You will be missed by so many and forgotten by so few.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, &amp;quot;Now I&amp;#039;m up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere&amp;quot; The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. &amp;quot;Just in passing, I&amp;#039;m not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
