Until the End of This Line
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
I keep putting off the only certainty I have
I pretend the clock on the wall isn't my time
I set meetings, set goals, set a whole lot of nothing
While the end approaches with no set time
No one wants to talk about death at the table, at lunch
They pretend it's rare, that it only strikes the elderly
But it lives within every breath
It's the framework that gives meaning to my existence
It's not about dying, it's about knowing I'm going to
It's not giving up, it's the clarity that remains
When I face the end, I stop putting life off
Only those who know it ends choose what makes the journey worthwhile
To be is to die it's not a sentence, it's a compass
To be is to die all I have left is the choice
I don't have time to live a lie
I am the time I have left until the end of this line
I lived for years on autopilot, dreaming someone else's dream
Following someone else's schedule, pretending that was my face
Until the memory of death knocked on the door one day
And asked me: Is this your life, or is it escape and cowardice?
I won't pretend anymore that I have time to spare
Every choice I make today is the last one I'll make
The anguish of death isn't weakness it's an invitation
To stop living like a zombie and become who I choose to be
It's not about dying it's about knowing I'm going
It's not giving up it's the clarity that remains
When I face the end, I stop putting life on hold
Only those who know it ends choose what makes the journey worthwhile
To be is to die it's not a sentence, it's a compass
To be is to die all I have left is the choice
I don't have time to live a lie
I am the time I have left until the end of this line
Tick
Tock
Every
Second counts
I'm not afraid of the end, I'm afraid of reaching it empty
I'm afraid of having lived my life in a hollow way
So today I choose, with the clock ticking
To be whole in this short time I have left to live
To live is to die it's not a sentence, it's a compass
To live is to die all I have left is the choice
I don't have time to live a lie
I am the time I have left until the end of this line
Until the end of this line
