Half smiling through the zenith of our silence
Bypassing trivial talks to give me additional balance
Is this like how it is now, or just a temporary depression?
Doors keep closing with every new wrinkle in my face
Soon I have no aspirations, no new skills to showcase
You can only generate energy for so long
When the money and music are depleted, I'm gone
I keep on slipping into a slow life
I'm not living the way I used to do
I keep on fading into the shades
I'm not living like I used to do
Oh youth is just another curse to get rid of
There's no escape to the memory of the hazy sea
Or to the enchanted forest where I once grew up
Fear is the only cure for boredom
The future is moist with uncertainty
I keep on slipping into a slow life
I'm not living the way used to do
I keep on fading into the shadows
I'm not living like I used to do
Oh adulthood is just another curse to shun
I can see the vast hill of my old age
And it's not very far away
And I hear them shouting from behind
All my past selves combined
All my former versions aligned
