Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Thanks, now I'm having an existential crisis.

there was a story I heard as a child.

a boy was always impatient and didn't want to wait for anything. an imp gifted him a ball of yarn and told him to pull the loose end and time would skip depending on how much he pulled out.

as you can imagine things didn't go well for the boy.

Looking at their website, I am guessing the piss filter on this image is all natural

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say.

As I grow older, and shorter of breath (and one day closer to death) these lyrics hit heavier and heavier.

I wrote myself off as dead at 14, after having a look at my situation. Was not too far off, surprised I ever got a job or lived to 30

Acting like dying is a bad thing. Lol. Don't threaten me with a good time.

What if you're actually on your deathbed and this moment is just your "life flashes before your eyes", but in slow-mo? 🤔

Anyways, childhood was weird to think about, I could almost remember the exact moment, I feel like I was there, I could imagine being there right now, but the moment is already gone, just a memory. 😥

Good message, but k-12 schools isn't for smarting people up.

Its to teach you: 1 when to fall in line and fit in 2 how to fall in line and fit in If your lucky: 3 to fall in line and fit in when you want to 4 dont implicitly trust the authority in our society.

Ps go eat a pickle and drink the juice

Give up a day and they take a lifetime.
