Last Days
• Written by ribs
I woke up late, put some eggs on my plate.
It's looking like it's gonna be an excellent day.
Cuz the sun has returned with a brightness infectious.
Rays on my face is a righteous complexion.
Back porch surveyor got the air in my hair.
Bouncin' off walls like a pro tennis player.
I'm finally gonna do it best believe I can prove it.
A step ahead of Biggie cuz I know where the loot is.
Soon to make memories and boy am I glad to.
The world's gonna welcome me and not because it has to.
Feelin' like the old me, dropped the self-loathing
Done with the drowning, I feel myself floating.
Been a long time since I haven't heard silence.
...since I opened up my eyelids.
It's gonna be a trip, steppin' off my cliff
It's gotta be worth it for a day this perfect.
...
...
The light's too bright and it's burning both eyes.
The height of the sky is a burden to the mind.
Standing on my feet gives me bad back pain.
And the ground's too wet since we last had rain.
Can't find the Frisbee, the football is missing.
Anyways all my friends are way too busy.
I can't afford to bother with this outdated offer.
Playing in the street is a thing for a toddler.
Why did I believe I could recreate the glory days?
Infamous explorers that explored in the pouring rain.
Not a proper age to be playing in the rain.
Nearing twenty one, it would only bring shame.
Shoes are gettin' worn, it would only make my feet swell.
Steppin' back inside, I forgot to check my email.
and Facebook and YouTube and Reddit and more
Sittin' til my feet feel dead on the floor.
Blood flow's equal to leaking faucets
It feels like my life is a screaming hostage.
Wonder what the time is, probably five-ish.
Gettin' kinda dark so I reach for the light switch.
only to be stopped by the glow of the clock.
Green digits saying that it's time to get a watch.
Man...I check my computer screen.
Well past One and I'm thinkin' of future me.
Swallowing the truth always leaves bad tastes.
Knowing that I'll live with regret in the Last Days.
