All the time
In order to rise
As it coincides and goes with time
An ode that's signed
With an open mind
Looking at it from both sides 
Otherwise
I'll just nosedive 
If I fuss and whine
When there's...

in brilliant disguise that did cover me
frequently blinded by the light

with all my bags scattered at your feet.

I think of what I fear, our mortality so near
And my little one, so dear, in need...

One step closer to finishing the project,
The deadline is fast approaching,
and it has to be perfect.
Working hours after hours not to fall behind,
The family is eating dinner—another night without Mom, no need to remind.

Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames...

Until infinity
In any vicinity
Let me put it out there officially
I smoke and drink religiously

And that all of it was done deliberately
Don't need your...
