DESCRIPTION:
7. black.
it's a slow crash
so just close your eyes
and pray we make it out alive.

i never said i had any answers-
i've only ever been a passenger.
in this life
where time just keeps passing by
i'm afraid this time
time has left me behind.

fading slowly, everything's turning grey
i'd run towards color
instead, i run away.
it's not the time to react-
here, we just keep moving on.
"swim with the tide
or let it roll over you."

the life you had has gone away
the one you'll have...so far.

if i could turn back,
just for an instant
i'd find that kid who looks just like me
and tell him
"go find some dreams before they're all you can see."
this old man, who
doesn't know the man
that he came to be.

and all i've learned from dreaming
is what you dream can be
what destroys you in the end.

then he asked me
"where do you go
when the life you live is not
the life you love?"

and in that instant, as he
starts to fade
i'll make my peace with time
and let it all turn grey.

i'll remember everything
i wanted to say, and turn
to mouth the words
as he slips away

"the lives we live
are not the lives we love.
so learn to love what you have
before it's gone."
