towards the sun

You talk as if you’re never gonna die

Until the mirror throws a clock at your face

And the hair you want to keep is bound to leave you

When it does, you‘ll learn to relish in your anger

And resentment keeps revisiting your past

As uncertainty frustrates what‘s yet to come

Keep pretending that a book can cure despair

It‘s not easy to delude yourself with hope

All the thinkers you respected took their lives

What a difficult conclusion to be drawn

Every step you take towards the sun shall blind you

And you‘ll cast a bigger shadow

than the bones you‘ll leave behind
