Live Another Day

"I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect" Sophocles You know, I live like there is no tomorrow no days to grieve or nights to dread I'm hurtling down the road so bend and narrow Can't look around - just straight ahead Forget the past, its paling fast - I'm free at last "Go on and live another day like it's your last" I heard them say "Erase - rewind and start anew" They're telling you: "Relive your pain, relive your loss, and - one more time! - embrace your cross Go on and live another day" Is that what they say? I do recall another world around me Before the fall - so long ago A bunch of fools emerged and so profoundly changed all the rules... the rest you know What's done is done, they surely won, that life is gone... move on The time has come to bend your knees and pray You're on your own, a blurring face of yesterday Recalling every ghost of everyone you've lost along the way... so far away
