Time 2

"Time 2"
Don't be full of it with such a selfish side
It'll be one hell of a ride
I can't tell you where heaven lies
Too many fell in line
Never got much needed help then died
Soon after they skeletonized
If you knew the whole truth you'd be well surprised
Like the pyramids of an impressive size
Regarding other lifeforms do we have any genetic ties?
Keep persevering even when you are having a devil of a time
See it through to the end, don't stop at chapter nine
Do your best you don't have to be a mastermind
Among particles of scattered light
As well as satellites
It's a shame that all these lifeforms got cast aside
Is there an afterlife?
In the end, it's only a matter of time
Close and far from a Wells Fargo sign
Don't let it all stop because if you're not careful sorrows might
You never know if you'll see tomorrow night
We're all living on borrowed time
If it's what you truly seek then dive for pearls
Or get out there and find a girl
While you can enjoy the ride even if you hurl
Before it all goes down the drain pipe and swirls
Remember you don't have all the time in the world
Endless hills to climb
Answers you seek take skill to find
Regardless the sun will shine
Make the best of it all, don't just kill time
Help and my hands I extend mine
Among molecules and enzymes
Another day closer to the deadline
It's yours so live your best life
Since you can't win the race against time
What exactly is life's meaning?
For now have a great day and a nice evening
It feels quite freeing
So get out there and do some sightseeing
For the time being
You may often find
That a lot dramatize
Or drop a dime
Still feeling lost in life
It's the cost and price
Twice a day, even a broken clock is right
Sometimes it's all great or not that nice
This still occurs and did once upon a time
To you and your Valentine
It may be unclear and not that defined
Look hard within for what you have to find
Hard to forget and keep in the back of the mind
But that is life
It's no secret deemed as classified
The never ending sands of time
From what I've studied
Life's lovely
It can be nice and sunny
Or turn quite ugly
Not always sweet like honey
Often fights turned bloody
Causing people to die unjustly
It's not something to find funny
Considering that time is money
Life is precious and quite the gem
Why pretend?
It could help to find a friend
Before our final end
Seen time and time again
Now that it's mentioned
I hope this message
Is effective
Since time is of the essence
