Sacred

I used to feel safe
Oblivious to the mess I left in my wake
Now I try to give more than I take
But there's more at stake
Than the nights I spent awake
It turns out I've got a selfish streak
And I repeat the same mistakes
Seconds, hours, minutes, days
I feel it slip, slipping away
Did I mention that I'm f*cking scared?
I can feel the decay
But I can't say it caught me unawares
New bruises, new pills
Fate will not fight fair;
The clock will not stand still
"Ask me why & I'll spit in your eye."
We're all still ill
Today I felt the time slipping away
