Days That Slip Away

The sun wakes up the alarm goes off Same old song same old thoughts. Hot coffee silent steps Shadows dragging what's left. Crowded streets empty eyes Lives just rushing never ask why. Time keeps biting pressure's high Where are we going without looking behind? Days that slip away leaving nothing behind Routines that weigh that bury the mind. And at the end of the race what will remain? A pile of stories left untold again. Bodies return too tired to feel Eyes forgetting what it means to dream. Everything planned numbers and days Living wrapped in silent pain. They told us "grow up work save your pay" They sold us peace in stress and delay. But no one warns that time eats away And one day you wake up not knowing your name. Days that slip away leaving nothing behind Routines that weigh that bury the mind. And at the end of the race what will remain? A pile of stories left untold again. Maybe the answer is not in the goal But in every step we take on the road. Maybe it's not about who gets there first But learning to live before it gets worse. Days that slip away so what will we leave? Routines that kill what we used to be. If today was the last what would you do? Maybe at last start living too. [Whispered] Before time makes us forget...
