lyrics

The sun set on a another wasted day:
He sat there, 25, his life wasting away,
But he couldn't have known that these seconds would be his last.
Shot down in the street, and with his last breaths he gasped that

" I should'a spent my time wisely,
and now my life has slipped right past me"

Some of us kill our time in arcades,
Others get high and live their lives as renegades
But the minutes keep marching. Gotta be aware
That the end is approaching, so you better care

How you spend your time. Use it wisely
Because time is currency and nothing is free.
Understand that this is gonna pass.
Decay is the destination of this path we follow.

I told you it was "eye for and eye"
And you said I was wrong and I said I was right, all the while
Time was marching on
(What can I do to fix this?)

The sun set on another wasted day.
Second by second my life's wasting away
Those seconds stack up and now the future's coming for me.
Blindsided by time, and now I see that

I gotta spend my time wisely, lest I let my life slip passed me.
Understand that this is gonna pass.
Decay is the destination of this path we follow.
It's a tough pill to swallow.
