lyrics

I look back, and I see impressions from the past.
Am I here now? Or reaching back? Holding on to the years.
The days lapse. 5, 10, 20 years pass. Where have you gone?
What have you claimed? Made for yourself?

There's one chance. There's one life.
There's no going back.
I look ahead and embrace the essence that I've made.

What's done is done from the path I've laid.
That frames what we've become today and the rest of what remains.

The blue prints ingrained in existence.
We're born. We live and we die.
What is our purpose? Our time that remains?
It is written, a guaranteed demise.
Who will maintain, the cadence of our past?
And carry forth an estate that we demand.

I see the ghost from my past.
In reflections, from my broken mask.
The love. The hate. Moments forever lost.
The memories that will fade.
There's no tomorrow. No more regrets.
We've run out of time. One last breath.
I leave behind my legacy.
In retrospect, I see my [Life!]
