Abyss of Attention

Now you look out the window
The future that should’ve happened
Time wasted on empty promises
Is it still not the right time?

You swear there’s still time
How many ways
Could you chase it?
Stealing what you can’t get back
Throwing your attention into an abyss

Just one more reels
Snoozed 5 minutes more
Just one last tab

What’s the next lie to be told?
Then you rewind

The more I chase the craic
The more I choke myself
Closer and closer to death
I drown inside myself

You swear there’s still time
You swear there’s still time
While you bury your life
In a lie

What is the achievement of a lost man?
How much more will you sell your soul?
Is a heart worth your will?

Looking out the window
See the future you never built
Chasing pleasures
Sacrificing the pain
Your heart bleeds

This is the reward of an impostor
Stealing years
From your name

Selling futures
For nothing
The conqueror who was meant to win
Now begs for scraps
