Time is cruel, erasing every memory Of who we once were Of the eyes that used to light up tomorrow Of the arms that hugged the whole world Steady steps toward our dreams Intimate promises, secrets, illusions– All collapsing into the private bitterness Of a single breath of life Turn off the music Switch off the lights in the house And go to sleep Because mess and silence are all that remain After the party ends A party of light Between the extremes of existing With no control In the endless search to keep everything the same And while time hasn't yet passed You will still know yourself Do what must be done Don't wait Give your best now Don't hesitate Life passes Inside a box in some forgotten corner Photographs are pale fragments of memories That have already slipped away Kept only to prove That every beginning has an end A glorious life walking toward decay While a glow burns like a candle Melting into itself Until it finally goes out Turn off the music Switch off the lights in the house And go to sleep Because mess and silence are all that remain After the party ends A party of light Between the extremes of existing With no control In the endless search to keep everything the same And while time hasn't yet passed You will still know yourself Do what must be done Don't wait Give your best now Don't hesitate Life passes Do what must be done Don't wait Give your best now Don't hesitate Life passes
