Time

Don't you dare not be better

Than last year.

Don't you dare let us down again

With our fears.

Don't just move forward,

Without pausing once!

You know, one day, anyway,

We'll be gone.

Don't run away

Without taking a single breath.

We want to prolong you

From now until death.

Don't be mean, don't laugh at us!

We don't know any better.

We try to suppress you,

But you are the trendsetter.

Don't just move forward,

Without pausing once,

You know, one day, anyway,

We'll be gone.

I load weapons to fight you.

I train my body to escape you.

I sharpen my senses to expose you,

Instruct my brain not to think too much about you.

We want to enjoy you,

But we're still afraid.

You are infinite,

But not for us.

We have invented you,

Yet we do not understand.

We get to know you better

With every second.

You are a go-getter,

shrug your shoulders,

You are our friend and enemy.

The fight against you

We cannot win.

So we try to flow with you

As best we can,

day out night in.

I load weapons to fight you.

I train my body to escape you.

I sharpen my senses to expose you,

Instruct my brain not to think too much about you.
