The taste of metal fills my mouth
It starts in the back of my throat and creeps forward,
Someday is closer today than it ever has been
As I waited for the big bang that signalled the beginning
I missed the chequered flag
My life may have started without me.

I was young
I didn't feel my dreams turn into compromise
turn into excuses
turned to delusions
I didn't feel the point where my studied cynicism
turned into actual cynicism
turned into genuine jadedness
Stopped being cool
Made me cold
I look around and all my promise
has turned to shit
And every year I am less and less
of what I was supposed to be.
