Taste the Day

More often A lot goes a little way So savor this moment It's all you're getting Sit still, slow down So long, purge your panic Play with toys, ease your mind You're running out of time But at least, your goals are undefined Can breathing be hard to master Take a look at this white sheet Flaccid and indiscreet A bitter pill to swallow Don't go, I know You'll still be here tomorrow Silence is in my DNA So promise me you'll stay And taste the day Try to remember How the pieces were placed Can you put them back again Time allows the edges to bleed, tear, and bend And yet I Sit still, slow down Sell out, burn my urges Kill this pointless doubt Though no longer a blank sheet Still more or less incomplete Tell me which impulse I should Follow, don't go, I know That there is no tomorrow My silence heightens memories I've thrown away the keys To deal with as you please Though I'll never go away I still can't taste the day A breath is worth more than breathing
