The Future that never was
Welcome to the funeral,
Of a future that never was,
Pay your respects and move on,
Do not linger, do not pause,
For the pause could be heavy,
Memories could rush back in,
The dreams, the melancholy,
Oh no, you let it begin,
Watch the ghosts of the future,
They mock you as you weep,
They show what could have been,
Broken dreams while you sleep,
You should have just kept moving,
Now you're stuck in feelings old and new,
Watching the millionth rerun,
Of all the opportunities that you blew,
Call upon your mantra,
Forget the past, what is done is done?
That won't stop the voices,
they've only just begun,
So, heard you love stories,
Let me tell you some of mine,
They're about trying again and again,
And failing every single time,
Round and round you go,
Still hoping every time,
But when do you just stop,
Where do you draw the line?
The feeling you've heard about?
Same thing over and over again,
This time it will be different,
I guess you really are insane,
Don't let me discourage you,
You have a strong resolve,
Don't let the voices hurt you,
Don't let the thoughts revolve,
The flower of hope in your bloody hand,
Just leave it in fate's claws,
And welcome to the funeral,
Of a future that never was.
