(Best mumbled to yourself)
It's gonna go wrong,
It's gonna decay.
Nothing gets better.
It just slips away.
It's gonna get colder,
It's gonna get grey.
You'll swear you can fix it.
You'll fail anyway.
It's gonna be lonely,
It's gonna be late.
You'll stare at the doorway
For someone who won't wait.
It's gonna be darker,
It's gonna be still.
You'll tell yourself, hold on.
You'll wonder why you will.
It's gonna be alright.
That's what you'll say.
Again and again
As the light drains away.
It's gonna be fine.
It's gotta be fine.
Because if it isn't...
You've wasted your time.
