The Break

The first stop i get to i’ll break
But first off It’s time and I’m late
Gotta catch it quick before it goes
A lotta overstays and told ya so’s
Right or wrong and I’m even scared
Tryin to fight em off or just leave it there
You’ll never get that chance again
The weather’s fast and closin in
The tide is up i gotta leave
All the fighting done is auto speed 
There’s another lap movin in space
All that’s moving down here is fate
Black or white is turning gray
Back at life is churning waste
Dark times have risen to the fray
Hard lines have chiseled their clay
In this land of make believe 
Seers see and singers sing
I tried to hit my mark with open wings
It’s raining hard and hard to see
Sometimes time is all you can take
So here’s to that fall you cant fake 
Life’s on overdrive I can’t hit the brake
The first stop i get to I’ll break.
