about

(vii) BUSY JUST EXISTING.
or, “The Clock Keeps Ticking.”
January 2016.

lyrics

I live my life
Time goes by
I'm ticking down the clock
Until I die
I move on
I'm always moving on
I find it hard to hold on
To things before they're gone

You live your life, and I'll do mine
I'm busy just existing, I'm busy just existing

We live our lives
Those passing sighs
We're traipsing down through time
And there's no why
We proceed
We always have the need
We lead ourselves to we
But there's no place for me

You live your life, and I'll do mine
I'm busy just existing, I'm busy just existing

And I know that you would wish the best for me
 (and I know you would wish the best)
And I know that you would want me to be happy
 (and I know you would lift me up)
And I know that you can't see that I'm just treading water
 (I'm just floating in the sea)
And I know that you can't help but make me feel much smaller

But I ask of you:
Please live your life, and I'll focus on mine

I'm busy just existing, I'm busy just existing
I'm busy just existing, I'm busy just existing
 (I'm busy living my life)
