All Smiles

Living all smiles as if we're immortal
But we're just vampires swaggering under the light of the sun
Thinking about tomorrow and making plans
As if we're gonna be standing still getting everything done
Pause it right here and think for a second
Can't you see it? 
Towards ourselves we ARE guilty of treason
We just live our lives taking our time asleep
Unknowingly missing everything and into that we aint going too deep
And once we wake up and find out its too late... 
That is what i call the "ugly awakening"

Think about tomorrow but dont make it your present 
Because if you think time is in your hands
You just hope so but no it isn't
Now that I finally woke up
Had a moment with myself and thought it through
It was me the one who was falling down not you
Don't follow my track because I realised something thats no doubt out of my hands
And thats how easily time can be wasted 
Just like breeze plays with a handfull of sand
And now that im panting......
I'm all smiles and again on my ground I stand
