Reverse

In the inevitable future, we all end the same way,
So I want to shout my feelings out, but are unable to. 
I do my best to avoid the life that I was given freely,
Saying “no way” like that, that’s why…

Time continues to flow on, no matter how much I fight it,
So I’ll just continue to walk on until I disappear.
That’s how my life will flow, it’ll flow, 
It will flow and disappear into the ground.

Throwing away the future to make up the past,
But my scared voice draws in the present.
With the pressure of life, I hid something away.
That is the “weak” love, it’s me…

Time continues to flow on, no matter how much I fight it,
We, the cowards, are lost and crying for help.
That’s how it flows, it’ll flow,
It flows and is somehow alive.

And I am born, it’ll flow on, no matter how much I fight it,
When I realized the truth by being loved, I was…
I was being washed away, love washed me away,
Because I’m alive.
