Lyrics
Once you know
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.
This is your last chance to make something that matters now.
The years are flying by faster than you can count.
The desperation is a sour taste in your mouth.
If there's a beast in there you better finally get it out.
Time is your enemy unless you make it your friend.
The years they are a nemesis unless you can learn from them.
The secret is that life is nothing but learning how to live.
The joke is that your body will have nothing left to give. (once you know)
Soon the walls will be coming down around your head.
Who will remember you 10 years after you are dead?
Turn off the television, get yourself up off the couch.
Your window's closing on the time you have to make your mark.
You feel immortal but that feeling isn't gonna last.
Your shining future is a second from a bitter past.
Don't let deceivers take your choices and your voice away.
If you're gonna to make a stand you might as well stand up today
