Where Nights Will Hold

If I knew...
There probably won’t be tomorrow
Forever anew
Time... I can only learn to borrow

And I’m learning to take things
Learning a better self to let go
Learning to sleep for better dreams
Learning for days where nights will hold

Serving without purpose
Nerving in accidents
Given a cure, I need a curse
Given a moment, I need incidents

And I wouldn’t want to know
No more do I wish what tomorrow will bring
Suited to all without a major role
Of the one thing I did learn... nothing is what it seems

That much, that few
Simply in time, we inactively flow
Tomorrow to always be new
And of life... I can never borrow
