Time is a mission
Love goes missing
Brain keeps freezing
As my heart slows beating!
Life is not the vision
I once envisioned - something
Far different from this script - reading
Lines I've been re-learning
Starring...major scenes enacting
Into my abyss - staring
Camera never stops rolling
Lessons I've been doubting
Experiences feeling foreign
Call me Mr Trueman
Cos this live show is lacking
Substance and meaning
My life keeps rolling
This roller coaster keeps twisting
As the reigns keep slacking
My sense of being I keep redeeming
Trying to regain and remain
Again...
Restarting, rewinding, reminding
As my true essence I keep revealing
I'm swinging
Punches thrown at life - reeling
Caught with an upper-cut, spinning
Knees buckling... Swaying
But still standing!
Never falling!
Still fighting!
I'm winning though sinning
But who's counting...
The score; who's keeping?
Life doesn't stop throwing
It doesn't stop pitching
Doesn't stop shooting
Driving and forward pushing
It's never stopping
It's never dying...
So why stop blocking?
Why stop catching?
Why stop ducking and rolling?
Why stop reverting and reversing?
Why stop moving?
Why stop living?
Are you in the present life living?
Or featured in a future showing?
