When I Was Immortal

When I was immortal, I believe I lived right maybe not healthy or safe, but right. I could stay awake for days Drink my weight in liquid gold and Roll up the next day feeling like royalty craving, what’s next Names I could call were endless, always someone somewhere Time would fly by and be instantly missed Roller coaster rides, another new taste A knockdown, a brush up Gripping the new day by the throat, owning it When I was immortal, everything belonged to me I had nothing, but the world was mine Spare change was my millions I loved everybody Somebody loved me So I'm no longer immortal, it all seems so long ago These days my time feels wasted Nobody calls, no one I know I may not be immortal but tonight I’ll give it one last go
