Never Die Old

Flipping through photographs, countless pages
Old memories and forgotten faces
Reminiscing of the old glory days
Life seems like a series of delays
Need to be somewhere but I've got nowhere to be
Seem unknown to my friends and family
Why do I think that I can't be great?
Life's passing me by, I keep showing up late
I told myself that I'd never die old but I'm just not dying
All the good ones, they always die young
Till now I've been lying
Looks like I'm living the life that's perfect
But nothing's going on under the surface
Everything is set to remote control
Never going fast, always moving too slow
I'm my own victim in this feedback circuit
This trajectory won't intercept
A bath of gold, a righteous state
Gotta take it back before it's too late
I told myself that I'd never die old but I'm just not dying
All the good ones, they always die young
Till now I've been lying
I'm just not dying
It's time to stop trying
All the good ones, they always die young
But I'm only surviving
It's a power will be coming for a while
I don't have it so I keep a fake smile
Being sane has its own demons coming round and
When they do, I'm stuck glue to the ground
Why sit around so consumed about my welfare?
Life won't come around
It ain't coming round
We've got to take control of lives we're leading
Reach our potential and stop the bleeding
I told myself that I'd never die old but I'm just not dying
All the good ones, they always die young
Till now I've been lying
I'm just not dying
It's time to stop trying
All the good ones, they always die young
But I'm only surviving
