Thorn Bushes

Life goes by like a subway running late,
time doesn't fly but it never hesitates.
slips the mind and the memories a waste.
Big skin market but you only get a taste.

I confess I never wanted,
what I couldn't touch with fingertips.
I confess I never wanted,
and that's the end of it.

Cause I'm not you,
I'm not giving up like you.
And I know there's thorn bushes ahead,
so easy to give in.
and be like you.

One track mind,
but it ends in accident.
Age tames pride so what do I defend.
Bite the tongue,
for saying God is dead.
Said a prayer but it was,
it was never heard again.

I confess I never wanted,
what I couldn't touch with fingertips.
I confess I never wanted,
and that's the end of it.

Cause I'm not you,
I'm not giving up like you.
And I know there's thorn bushes ahead,
so easy to give in.
and be like you.
