Around the Corner

As the hours pass, so do the months and the years
And the cheer of our youth disappears
And our childhood fears become the insecurities of adulthood,
And the instability of life here evolves into anxiety about eternity
I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel,
I only see what could have been and is not there
Crush my despair
I don’t see the missing pieces to the puzzle,
I only see its lonely spaces and those who do not care
I’m never prepared
Don’t act like you didn’t see this coming
Don't act like you didn't see this coming
I could see it around the corner.
We’ve all been cornered into the future
I could see the end just like a coroner,
Seeking answers for all the mourners
I could see it around the corner
We’ve all been cornered into the future
I could see the end just like a coroner,
Seeking answers for every mourner
But the glow is fading and my eyes are weary
From watching everyone I know grow into a mold
That I cannot fit
It makes me want to quit
My body and my spirit feel as though they have been split
Lifetimes ago, we knew who we were, we knew who we were
Now I’m the only one who doesn’t
Lightyears ago, we knew where we were, we knew where we were
Now I’m the only one who doesn’t
