Pretty sure I'm a guy on an island
Surrounded by an advanced metropolis
Still, I seclude myself to this island
Chipping away the outer shell of a coconut and using a sharpened stick to catch fish
While people across from me are microwaving 4 course meals
Watching television in 4-D
Kids hop on their hoverboards and glide
Pretty sure I'd look at the Mona Lisa and not feel an ounce of nostalgia
Listen to Sinatra and not move an inch
But I do smile when I see the sun
For it'll outlast most of us
It's my favorite star
I am far too young to die
and with that knowledge, I don't know If I'm living life fast to catch up or
get ahead.
Later Days, Longer Nights
