Forever Time

[Chorus: MJ Ultra]
Tomorrow’s not promised today
No lifetimes left to wish away
I know I left my soul on the line
Through battlefields and warning signs

[Verse 1]
Wasn’t Romeo and Juliet, I felt the full effects
Flying high, my parents told cool my jets
I was sprung, I was young, and head over heels
I was numb, yeah I’m dumb, yet I know it’s real
We met as juniors, partying at a summer bash
And I told you I love you by homecoming dance
I would go to the mall with you when you cut a class
You would sit there for hours and watch me button mash
They would say we were connected at the hip
Some had evеn said that I was whipped
They said I’m falling for you which is funny, I ain’t nevеr think I’d slipped
Now look at me, pathetic as it gets
But it’s mutual ‘cause I know you felt the same attraction
Hoping we would gain some traction
I was prince charming on a steed sent to slay the dragon
Love struck kids who succame to passion

[Chorus: MJ Ultra]
Tomorrow’s not promised today
No lifetimes left to wish away
I know I left my soul on the line
Through battlefields and warning signs

[Verse 2]
You went to college and I had made it through trade school
We had some distance, but swore that we would be fateful
I bought her ring, the wedding, and now my plate’s full
A couple years go by, a couple angels
Three daughters not only softened, but humbled me
Babysitters to make us feel like we’re young and free
We did the dinners, vacations, and movie nights
Every precaution for couples who feel they’re losing sight
It was over a decade after my junior year
I tried to think of that summer night, I’m reduced to tears
I even kept the beer bong as a souvenir
I think the way that we’ve been moving’s clear
But I’m playing a part, this happiness is a façade
I’m held accountable, I made a pack with you and God
See the love is real, but the sacrament is flawed
I just prayed you don’t ? me as a fraud

[Chorus: MJ Ultra]
Tomorrow’s not promised today
No lifetimes left to wish away
I know I left my soul on the line
Through battlefields and warning signs

[Verse 3]
Feeling zombify, something that I’m haunted by
I wanted happiness, and now I’m ostracized
Look at my daughters’ eyes, break her heart when mommy cries
Father doing time, losing time to father-time
Sad part is I’m still her knight in shining armor
Muster the courage that makes me sound like some kind of martyr
More like a carrying out a hit, killing someone I love, when I throw in the towel and quit, but shit
Why am I the villain? Why am I some kind of bad guy?
Why does the present make everything in my past lies?
I tried to keep this thing afloat but it capsized
I hope my daughters understand that her dad tried
Maybe a lifelong happiness is just there against
They say that that ain’t the half of it, that’s what marriage is
Take my inheritance, everything else cherry-pick
I’d rather die alone than know that I was scared to live

[Chorus: MJ Ultra]
Tomorrow’s not promised today
No lifetimes left to wish away
I know I left my soul on the line
Through battlefields and warning signs
