Description
I jokingly call it an ode to nihilism, but really it's a song for people like me: Slackers, procrastinators, pleasure-seekers. Every now and then, we need someone to remind us that time is what we make it, and it doesn't stop just because we do. GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR PEOPLE. I need this message as much as anyone, so I wrote a song about it.
Lyrics
I am the wind that shapes the limestone over time I am the water that grows the trees that reach the sky I'm here today, but I know tomorrow's not really mine 'cause when the world turns round, I know just what I'll find The sun still shines The best we are is a sad song The best we are is a head in a basket The best we are is an empty casket in the dark, it's what we are We chase the dollar, but it's never what it seems 'cause money's only ones and zeros on a screen And when we look back on our lives we're gonna see The money meant nothing The best we are is a sad song The best we are is a head in a basket The best we are is an empty casket in the dark, it's what we are When we depart All I know is that the train won't stop for no one So get on while you can All I know is that when I get off I'll be the one to choose my stop The best we are is a sad song The best we are is a head in a basket The best we are is an empty casket in the dark, it's what we are When we depart
