If tomorrow never comes tell yesterday I made my preparations the day before last

And tell him Im raising my glass to the past

to show him that what he has done has run its course

And Im tired of being pushed around by an unseen force

And Ive written down all my shortcomings but they don’t mean a thing

Because I figured out Im fighting a battle I can’t win

Im at war with time

Im in the ring throwing every punch I know trying to connect with it

But every blow I throw is a second wasted

So I sit down and stare at a screen filled with words I never wrote

With every opportunity that time gave I choked

Didn’t mind, figured there was more to come

That way of thinking was ripped undone

Time waits for no man, yet I sat there trying to convince him to wait for me

Because there was so much more I wanted to do, wanted to see

He raised his middle finger, and told me

Time waits for no one, what makes you an exception to the rule

And I told him with all the honesty I could muster, because Im a complete fool

Never abided by the standards set by society

Never apologized for the results of my creativity

The only limit I live by is time

My chisel to break that iron line is rhyme

And every time my hammer comes down with all my power

Time ticks away another hour

Im fighting against time

Im fighting a battle I cant win

But that doesn’t mean a thing

Sometimes fighting a battle you cant win

Is victory in itself
