Two Minutes
Alexander Kirk
In my dresser
A pile of snapshots
Don't look too closely
They faked them all
Climbed from the wreckage
No hero's journey
I wore a new name
Nobody noticed
Live long enough and
All your cells get replaced
Doesn't that make you
Somebody new?
Looking for answers
Answers to questions
Questions of living
Loving and dying
If I could show you
All of what I've seen
You would wonder
At it all
All of those memories
I bequeath thee
Hold them closely
Take them all
Burn so brightly
But not to last
I see the end now
It's coming fast
Just a few minutes
Is all that's left me
I want more time
I want more
