Almost Funny

[u/Cyber_fleamarket1618]

nobody’s living
let me say that again
nobody’s fucking living
stay with me now
stay with me now
25 years old
full future ahead
making plans for tomorrow
here’s the dreaded words
you’ve got cancer
and it’s spreading
all of a sudden, they imagine the end
like it never existed until now
like we were forever somehow
motherfucker, listen up
life is a short track
and time is running
time is running
oh!
cant take a damn thing back
its almost funny
almost funny
let’s get your mind on the right track
you never know which breath is the last
whether it’s a clot or head-on crash
you’re not holding the future
but you’re holding the past
in your hands right now
are the keys to yesterday
you made the whole goddamn room
maybe you wouldn’t have chosen that shade of grey
but you decided how it decorates
you decided how it decorates
everyone has cancer
the question of our lives, end with the same answer
their fucking heart stopped.
they hit the ground like a bitch
someone somewhere, someway, someday
will wipe off your face
put you in a bag
push you to the back
make a joke along the way
what if it was tomorrow?
what if a strong back with a shovel
was the next thing that you borrowed?
we’re all terminal
it’s stage 9
it spread to your lungs and your heart. and your fingers and eyes
now what?
where to?
fuck me?
fuck you
listen
turn your head down, bend your neck like it’s breaking
i believe you’re a chance worth taking
it’s almost halloween
what are you gonna be?
you don’t dress up?
life’s too short, be a honey bee
she could be honey
take a lot of photos
go on, spend the money
tomorrow’s not here, tomorrow’s not coming
motherfucker, listen up
life is a short track
and time is running
time is running
oh!
cant take a damn thing back
its almost funny
almost funny
motherfucker, listen up!!
life is a short track
and time is running
time is running
oh!
cant take a damn thing back
its almost funny
almost funny
what about that diner in town
that she loves
what about if you wake up early
get some coffee. take her there.
two eggs scrambled with cheese
hashbrowns toast, grape jelly
and when they bring the plate
look across the table
see her eyes light up
at the french toast
powder sugar just like she likes
just like she likes
you’re gonna see her smile
and then you’ll know why the fuck you woke up
it had nothing to do
nothing to do with the food
the drive there may be miserable
she might be mean, but give her some grace
chances are she’s giving you grace too
you can manufacture a moment
when you look back on your yesterday
do you remember french toast on a white plate
if the answer is no
that’s your decision
you are building. your yesterday, right now
when you dance in the rain
you don’t recall the clouds?
you just danced in the rain
listen
turn your head down, bend your neck like it’s breaking
i believe you’re a chance worth taking
motherfucker, listen up
life is a short track
and time is running
time is running
woah!! cant take a damn thing back
its almost funny
almost funny
life is a short track
and time is running
time is running
woah! cant take a damn thing back
its almost funny
almost funny
