Distant Signs

Yesterday will seem important
Seen through retrospective eyes
Tomorrow might just be sincere
If you respect how long we’ve tried
Feeling close to all the street lights
Distant signs highlight the way
The insubstantial red light greeting
Thank you I’ve enjoyed the stay
I’m still trying
You can’t see exactly what
It means to be alive
And if you ask why life is moving fast
Will you survive, will you survive?
All alone I walk the quarter
Sniffing out the sins and lies
Truly celebrating living
Trying way too hard to die
I’m still dying
The end coming right on cross again
