Ellipsis

As the future pools closer, I reflect a lot I need to cherish every moment with the family and friends I got Can't just wither away and rot Need to piss or get off the pot Can't pick a character and play the role of someone I'm not Can't go Back to the Future like Doc saying "Great Scott" or "1.21 Gigawatts" But I'm gonna treat life like a picnic Like I won the pick-six So can I get a witness? (AMEN) No longer basic, more acidic on the litmus Test… like a testament Make sure to prevent or circumvent The regret from where it could've went Or gone… I guess I'm moving on And passing the baton To a better version of me To evolve beyond my history Exist beyond the mystery Determine what the truth will be Go ballz to the wall till the day I get got Whether I burn, I drown, or get shot When I take my last breath finish my sentence with three dots… Living out my life like an ellipsis Like every day is Christmas And I'm all up in the Sears catalog Writing my wish list Like back in the day when things were simplistic When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss Coming home after streetlights came on Getting a manifesto - a slap on the wrist When life was a gift It was a blessing to exist And that's what I miss Gonna live my life just like this Gonna punctuate my life with an ellipsis… Death is forgiveness, from all of my sinning It's not an end, it's a grand new beginning A "to be continued"… Only in a brand new venue An avenue we've never even been through It's lke we're ordering from a secret menu Doing what we can, canning what we do It's like a sneeze and everybody simultaneously says "bless you" (BLESS YOU) We're blessed too, and every once in a while it hits you, it gets you It gets to you, when you're staring at the truth, when it's staring back at you When you recognize the world goes beyond the view Like you're getting a sneak preview Of something you didn't mean to It's like you understand for the first time what you already knew It's impossible to describe it but you feel it too Those three little dots now represent you… Living out my life like an ellipsis Like every day is Christmas And I'm all up in the Sears catalog Writing my wish list Like back in the day when things were simplistic When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss Coming home after streetlights came on Getting a manifesto - a slap on the wrist When life was a gift It was a blessing to exist And that's what I miss Gonna live my life after death just like this I'm on a mission To break my traditions To stop being cautious with all my decisions Maximize my pleasure at the expense of my business Take it easy on the taking Learn to spend my time giving Wasting no more time mistaking All my enemies forgiven Throw myself into life like a high-speed collision Like I'm driving on the Autobahn I'm tailing and I'm fishing Driving cause I'm driven Alive because I'm living Rack and pinion Steer clear - no more fear Change the narrative to make it feel like I'm always winning Skimming off the top From the money pit I'm swimming in Gonna keep indulging While the world keeps spinning Gonna keep singing Like no one else is listening Gonna keep dancing Like it makes the world glisten I'd be despicable letting my life be run by Minions But if I avoid it I'll be smiling Always ear-to-ear grinning Living out my life like an ellipsis Like every day is Christmas And I'm all up in the Sears catalog Writing my wish list Like back in the day when things were simplistic When the bell rang at 3 o'clock and class was dismissed Like sitting, waiting, wishing on my first kiss Coming home after streetlights came on Getting a manifesto-a slap on the wrist When life was a gift It was a blessing to exist And that's what I miss Gonna live my life just like this
