Just Exist

I was once asked how I'd like to remembered

And I simply smiled and said: I'd rather stay forever

It was possibly my loudest cliché

But no better than just walking away

I don't know what my legacy will bring

A song, some words I wrote, or a kid I’ll never see

All of these things scare me half to death

I'll suffer the dangers hoping for the best

But that's not say I don't think that all of this can change

But that's not to say I won't wake up some day where the light is bright

That I'm gonna be okay

If again I'm asked how I'd like to be remembered

Next time I'll be better prepared for the answer

But you'll never know much of the truth so I'll just exist

It's all I can do

So much to consider, and too much to grasp

To swallow mortality is enough of task, and leaving your mortgage just too much to ask

I'll just bow my head, and leave out the back
