All the Time in the World

Hearts are breaking for hearts that are broken

So eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die

Or maybe next Tuesday for those of us without a battle flag to fly

Though we are no less noble or brave

Because we can still wave goodbye

We have all the time in the world

Until the limitless possibilities of youthful infinity turn into mortality

But that's after a long, fun struggle of watching everyone

Not me and not you

Suddenly go pale

Some failed to live up to life

Some trailed behind their own comet tails

Some wailed and cried out to God to no avail

And some got impaled by speeding metal

And infected needles

But I'm here

And you're here

And why do we still care enough

Or even too much to write or make words

In the hope that someone in the future will hear?

History is just one lost language after another

After another

And when they're all taken together we still can't decipher the past or decode the future

We're just lost without a map

We are dust, it's true

And to dust we shall return, me and you

But it was fun while it lasted

All the time in the world

Turns out not to be that much
