As Future Evaporates - In Twilight's Embrace

Some are banned from knowing life as it is

Others know it way too well

Some lives are bound to dim away too fast

While others are doomed to vainly last

Forced out of their mothers' wombs

Taking path of least resistance

While others keep on measuring the void

For days on end

As here and now becomes a waiting room

For a brighter dawn

Which doesn’t seem to come

We keep on waking up in a purgatory

Which is turning

Into the burial ground of ours

As future evaporates

We find ourselves stuck in a moment

On our way to eternity

Sometimes it’s the act of running

Straight into the flames

And burning oneself to death

That makes the life worth living

And matter in the bigger picture

On a larger scale

In a wider context
