Look Ahead

I'm selfish, I'm not willing to share.
Time, no matter how long you get, its never fair.
Age, Its just a number given to us so we can determine our death.
Why exactly would I want to know when my body will be laid to rest?

You always get what you think you need.
No one knows appreciation like the man who works til his hands bleed.
I'm gonna be a father, But wait.
I'm too young, and apparently so is fate.

Maybe I'll drink.
But the more poison I put down my throat, the lower I sink.
Where is my pick me up?
She's left me for becoming a drunk.

It numbs the pain.
My mood begins to resemble the rain.
Dark, dreary, and more prone to disaster.
I find myself wishing life would pass me by faster.

A woman. One that will put you flat on your back.
She's beautiful, hair long and black.
She'll steal your heart.
But before you can blink your eyes, its all torn apart.

You'll go your separate ways.
Your paths cross in 1,825 days.
You both live different lives.
You wish you could go back to that year, wondering what happened to the last five.

Without ever thinking twice you'll walk.
Knowing you may never see her again, still you barely even talk.
Regret only what you've missed.
The future is new, temptation is all thats left to resist.

The devil wears the color pink.
A thirsty man always finds himself a drink.
Tear off that rear view mirror.
The road ahead is all you should fear.
