I watch my life passing slowly before my eyes
I can remember the past so clearly and wish I was there
Memories are so familiar and warming, yet not then
Only in the past are they welcoming, not in the here and now
The grip on reality is fading now with each sip
Just one action could leave me sinking down and down
To that world of unknown trepidation, the deathly experience
Like the forbidden bite of an apple, leading to peace
What makes us stay, keeps us living in this hell?
Fear of losing power, of letting go of the accepted?
Social rules reign and will forever until Nature takes us
Why wait ‘til then? Why not take the bite, the power?
Only because we live for loving whilst we’re here
Will we strive for happiness and fight in the face of all
