tomorrow isn't waiting

I'm looking for a thrill
that isn't even there
How pathetic is that,
how pathetic am I?
Eyes closed tight
and ears burned out
I'm walking a tightrope
for no reason at all
We all have to feel alive
otherwise, what's the point?
but I've taken these daredevil games
to ridiculous heights
I wager with myself
with the sun above
the devil and everyone in between
I can come out clean
from this dirty experiment
You don't believe me and
I don't believe myself
but it's better than watching your tv
better than idle talk
better than wasted thoughts--
time spent and nothing gained
I don't want to come to the end
and know I wasn't done
I don't want to wait
because tomorrow isn't waiting for me
Grab, while you have the power in you
hold on,
while the world rushes by.
