Memento Mori

Yeah It's Quill That's real Leave it all on the field Tell them all how I feel, Yeah, let's go Straining for a seed of air gotta speak my piece Grow my flowers while I'm still here to the day that I find release Yeah straining for a reason to care gotta find my peace Give it all away while I'm still here to the day that I disappear How long till the harvest moon? I've been waiting on the garden to bloom But for now leave it all on the field Yeah, tell them all how I feel Yo each breath like a seed that I sow Hoping these roots take hold Trusting to the landscaper of my soul to make me whole whoa Cuz I've been dealing with the specter of unfulfilled potential Scarier than any ghost the way it haunts in the mental The way it breaks your heart whenever you get a chance to think Life comes at you fast the whole thing gone in a blink That's why I'm making my art somewhere out past the brink Pluck a quill from the reeds Write in blood sweat and tears passionate ink I'm passing it on to the last of its gone Pour it all out let it pass into song Pass into silence louder than words A legacy of love for the ones that I serve Straining for a seed of air gotta speak my piece Grow my flowers when I'm still here to the day that I find release Straining for a reason to care gotta find my peace Give it all away when I'm still here to the day that I disappear Lord teach me to number my days Even on the most humble of days You know the ones where I'm stumbling dazed Hamster wheel spun or running this maze Trapped by desire bound to backfire If I don't take a second to stop and that's why If purity of heart is the will one thing I want to give it all till the belt toll ring No more living in the red trying to fend for myself Took that path to the end of myself Dwell on the dearth and there's never enough But there's surfeit in purpose I'm serving it up Do what I can to inherit the land So the dreams of the fam that I leave can expand When the spotlight fades find me ablaze Facing that night with the steadiest gaze We all go to the grave with a little untapped glory A little more to the story, this that memento mori We all go to the grave with a little untapped glory So let's keep exploring, this that memento mori
