i need to do some shit before im wrinkled and spotted.

lately i've been thinking that life is just speeding up and i can't slow it down or even stop it.
...of course by lately i mean this whole year.

i keep telling myself im young
im young, im young im young.
im only 21
i'll do everything ive ever wanted to do soon
ill start tomorrow/next week/next month/next year.
then all of the sudden its tomorrow/next week/next month/next year
and im still in the same place.

my parents always said i was capable of great things, but i simply don't care to try.
but who hasn't heard that before?
they are probably all right...

there is so much shit i need to see
there is so much i want for myself
there is so much that i just want to be a part of
and why am i not doing it?

i dont know
the reoccurring theme of my life.

i need to get somethings done.
im old enough to not do whatever it is that i dont want to do
and just go for it.
what do i have to lose?
after all, im still young
...while im still young.

A burning bridge will light the paths we tread
What we thought was providence has buried us instead
Semi-circles beneath the surface
To make ourselves whole we must unearth it
Here's to wasting days digging graves when we should have carved a path
The days we chased were just too fast
Times like these never last
First times and second chances
Letting down our battle stances but always standing tall
It's just where I stand on sinking sand that makes me feel so small
Stamp steal and shake up their hearts
You'll never get enough
This is an all-you-can-eat
I hope you're full when I'm gone
Drink to your fill darling
We both know it's coming back up
A condom is your Trojan horse
My thinking ahead is waiting for an end
We prayed for rain until it's up to our necks
The tides have turned within our hallow chests
These heavy hearts will be the death of us
I'm not burning out, I'm growing up
I've had my luck just not enough
I must admit we weather well
From sunken ships to liberty bells
It's just like we're capsized on walls we hide behind

Lion of The North - Compass Calls E.P. - "Point Me To Providence"

Talk about hitting the hypothetical nail on the my literal head.
