Despite our lives racing in a crazy era
Where the slightest thing pulls us from the simple present moment
While everything flies away with time
Despite death, the one that hits and makes us cry
Or the one that someday, sooner or later, will cut us down
Despite love, the one that makes us live on hope
That sometimes hurts so much when we're left on the doorstep
Of a story too short, whether we want it or not
Despite the hate that often blows up in our face
And the morons who lap up that sad spit
As long as my eyes open
I'll search on the horizon
For the breach that opens onto my rubble
The glimmer in the darker days
As long as my feet keep walking
I'll move forward like a dumb*ss
With hope in every step
And that until my last breath
Despite the sh*t, the setbacks, the things that slip away
The small, the big torments, the missteps
And everything that catches up with us around the bend
Despite boredom, traffic, unfinished dreams
The routine, the cynicism, the never-ending winter
As long as my eyes open
I'll search on the horizon
For the breach that opens onto my rubble
The glimmer in the darker days
As long as my feet keep walking
I'll move forward like a dumb*ss
With hope in every step
And that until my last breath
