Eternity

(album: Pain Paints Paintings - 2021)

And when you really examine the concept of eternity
One will find that there is no end
Life after death is a concept humans still don't understand

How long is eternity? I don't understand
Some say forever, but if it's forever then when does it come to end?
It's more than a concept and infinite time that we spend
It confirms that our lives here on Earth are a blip of existence and don't make a dent
As we get older, it creeps in our mind
The thought of the end and beginning of time
The life that we thought that we lived doesn't matter approaching the thought that someday we all die
I get confused when I look in the sky
What is this water hitting my eyes?
Maybe the rain is the pain and shame
That hits Earth when God cries
As we get older, we don't care what we did
It's not the things we receive, but the things we give
We try to go back to the time we were kids
But those shoes no longer fit
And then we finally realize that everyone dies
But not everyone lives
So I'm taking chance
I'm living my life in the moment and not a future that's not in my hands
I'm giving my time to the people who love me for everything that I am
I'm living my life in reality, not for a post that they'll tap when they open the 'Gram
I'm doing whatever it takes
I'm not gonna dwell on my past mistakes
I'm bridging the gap between my dreams and what I see while I'm awake (I Swear)
They say leave it up to fate
Well, fate favors those who take
'Cause if eternity's forever and all this is temporary, why wait?
Humanity's lost
We obsess the price of material things
But at what cost?
Then treat time like currency and spend it for applause
Because we think that life is just a game we can turn on and off
We build, we break
Renew, replace
We 9 to 5 and count the days
For 40 years 'til 65
Then live off what our pension pays
We fall in line as mental slaves
Our bodies work, our minds are caged
And that's why people say the richest place you'll find is at the graves
Full of hopes and dreams that people never chased
Full of feelings that we felt but never got to say
All the thoughts inside our heads that we kept stored and locked away
As our age increased and we got old and everything decayed
And when we finally realize that our whole lives was not a game
And that time was a commodity that we could not regain
And that we were in control, and there was no one else to blame
Is the day that we change

It's eternity, no end
Eternity, no end
It's eternity, no end
Eternity, no end
It's eternity, no end
It's eternity, no end
It's eternity, no end
Eternity, no end

What are you doing with your time?
And what is your definition of happiness?
Are you giving more than you're taking?
And finally
If it were to all end right now
What are you holding on to that you need to let the world see?
