In An Instant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Carpe diem seize the moment
Era fleeting keep on breathing
The fragility of life
Curve balls fall from out of the sky
And as you stare and ponder why
It accelerates then passes you by
If in an instant it turns south
Can't retract what flew out of your mouth
Do you give all
Grab life by the balls
Or bathe in fear
Voices you can't really hear
It comes testing of your will
Is your spirit made of steel
The fragility of time
There's no clear reason no sure rhyme
Although everything appears fine
It can drive the strongest
Out of their minds
And in an instant it turns south
Pinned to the mat and now you're out
Missed the boat with the red flag waving
Rhetoric seeped in and scathing
Sorry for always saying sorry
Way too much or never enough
Fist to the jaw and your knocked out
Although you're down, got to reborn
Do you give all
Grab life by the balls
Or drown in fear
Voices you can't really hear
It comes testing or your will
Is your spirit strong as steel
The fragility of life
It can change with the blink of an eye
And as you gaze and wounder why
It accelerates then passes you by
Don't let it pass you by
When in an instant it turns south
True to yourself you can't
Ever doubt yeah
Even if your head is spinning
Even if your head is reeling
