Despite our lives racing in a crazy era
_____
Where the slightest thing pulls us from the simple present moment
_____
While everything flies away with time
_____
Despite death, the one that hits and makes us cry
_____
Or the one that someday, sooner or later, will cut us down
_____
Despite love, the one that makes us live on hope
_____
That sometimes hurts so much when we're left on the doorstep
_____
Of a story too short, whether we want it or not
_____
Despite the hate that often blows up in our face
_____
And the morons who lap up that sad spit
_____
I dig my heels in
_____
As long as my eyes open
I'll search on the horizon
_____
For the breach that opens onto my rubble
_____
The glimmer in the darker days
As long as my feet keep walking
_____
I'll move forward like a dumb*ss
_____
With hope in every step
_____
And that until my last breath
_____
Despite the sh*t, the setbacks, the things that slip away
_____
The small, the big torments, the missteps
_____
And everything that catches up with us around the bend
_____
Despite boredom, traffic, unfinished dreams
_____
The routine, the cynicism, the never-ending winter
_____
I dig my heels in
_____
As long as my eyes open
I'll search on the horizon
_____
For the breach that opens onto my rubble
_____
The glimmer in the darker days
_____
As long as my feet keep walking
I'll move forward like a dumb*ss
_____
With hope in every step
_____
And that until my last breath
