For The Monument

I breathe back to life
For a moment
One more chance under the sun
One more chance to understand
Why I’m waiting
Waiting-
Never get distracted by pointlessness
I got inertia
And inertia’s got me

I scream back at life
For the monument
One missed chance under the sun
One missed chance to expand
Why am I hurting
Hurting-
Never get obsessed with joy
I got desolation
And desolation’s got me

I steal back from life
From my opponent
One last chance under the sun
One last chance to stand
Why am I breaking
Breaking-
Never get scared of boredom
I got time
And time’s got me
