I spent the better half of my life
Fearing what I've become:
A godless, loveless,
Perspective free man.
Free only to walk
The walls between reasons.
I never knew that they could crack me.
For every question,
Another night that I couldn't sleep.
I see the way that you
Look at me differently.
Can't I still have you?
I traced the events of your life
With my aging fingers.
I was in my prime
Before the idea of you was born.
I spent my time being bigger than
What I knew that I was.
I had much to leave no one.
But I'm glad I found out how
To be proud of myself.
Despite the fact that I died alone.
See heaven is made of impossible figures,
And the only person you'll ever truly love
Is yourself.
Each morning I wake alone,
And somehow, for the first time,
I'm at peace with myself.
Angie, what of me
When I'm 93 and dying in your backseat?
I spent my life chasing questions
To which I'll never get the answers.
Well, most of us do.
It's less about the questions,
And more that you got through.
We've been fighting
For 3.5 billion years to get here.
