Dying Daily
{ words & music by Simon Spire }
*
Every day a new me waits
And with it comes a whole new place
I’m not sure I want to see
I drag my feet until I find
The mask of yesterday has died
Melting in creation’s memory
And every end turns out to be
The start of something I’m not ready to see
*
I keep trying and dying daily
To a view that’s a new side of me
*
I’m always flying blind
Leaving myself behind
Today is all I am
Everything I’ve ever been
Was just a breath of air it seems
Dissipates
And every end turns out to be
The start of something I’m not ready to see
*
I keep trying and dying daily
To a view that’s a new side of me
*
A week from today I’ll be a faded memory
Romanticized good old days like bottled milk and J.F.K.
My end is near, dreams of tomorrow obsolete
And when I wake I’m off again
As someone I have never been
*
I keep trying and dying daily
To a view that’s a new side of me
Parts of me I can see die daily
As I watch from the space in between
*
