In all probability
I’ll fade into the faceless annals of history
And every thought I’ve ever had
Every moment, sad or glad
Will be forgotten promptly
Will be forgotten promptly
Every idea, every futile stand against
The ever-crushing darkness
Has given me this hand
That I know
Stands no chance
And one day I’ll look up
From the top of a book
To find that I’m fifty
And that it only took
A fraction of a shadow
Of a slimmer of a second
To age into my father
And that all I imagined
For myself
And the world
Was a pipe dream
How unlikely
You’d be to find me
Doing something
Or being someone
Calm and happy
I’ll always be
Running on empty
The world keeps on spinning
I’ll grow up and then back down
Just like anyone
From “anyone lived in a pretty how town”
And one by one my friends
Will fade and vanish
From this town and my head
And no one will even notice
That it turned out
My God, it turned out
We’re all without
Gifts or talents
No one saw this
coming
And now
we’re all mad
At
this or that
But
The truth is
We were at
the shit end
Of our
parents’ friends’ snotty jokes
And they were totally right
We’ll just have to let it go
The world keeps on spinning
We’ll grow up and then back down
Just like everyones
From “anyone lived in a pretty how town”
In all probability
I’ll fall
Fast and forever
Into the silence
Of it all
And you’ll all fall too
Down, down with me
Into the all-consuming
Jaws of history
The world keeps on spinning
We’ll grow up and then back down
Just like everyones
From “anyone lived in a pretty how town”
