I stare into eternity 

always one step ahead of me 

I touch its wake every single day 

but it slips from my grip and away 



when what was given is gone 

a one-way road to oblivion 

and as I fight for just one more breath 

I awake to the reality of death 



you wouldn't ever want to try 

see through my eyes 

you'd break like a child inside 

if you ever realized 

through a mirror of time 

I see your reflection 

in the image that is me 



I won't be around for too long 

I too will see oblivion 

and as I struggle to hang on 

my life will fade until I'm gone 



It's my secret number 

and everybody wins this one 

it's not as if time is on my side 

we all drown in the same tide 



you wouldn't ever want to try 

see through my eyes 

you'd break like a child inside 

if you ever realized 

on an everlasting sea 

the tide of evolution goes on 

for eternityI stare into eternity 

always one step ahead of me 

I touch its wake every single day 

but it slips from my grip and away
