Lyrics

Time is gonna pass you by faster than you ever imagined

Time passes quickly, faster than anticipated.

Memories are gonna flicker behind your eyes like the cameras flashing

Memories will flash like camera shots behind your eyes.

You don't want no more pictures cuz you're too cool for it

Rejecting the idea of taking more pictures because of a perceived coolness.

But now you'd give anything to have more pictures of the people you're missing

Regretting not having more pictures of missed loved ones.

Your missin your sister

Feeling the absence of a sister.

Your missin your brothers

Feeling the absence of brothers.

Your missing friends

Feeling the absence of friends.

Who will be there when it ends

Reflecting on who will be there at the end of life.

I'm so afraid of forgetting

Fear of forgetting things.

Maybe the truth is I'm really afraid of just being forgotten

Realizing a deeper fear of being forgotten by others.

Stays on my mind too often

The fear of being forgotten occupies the mind frequently.

I got skeletons in my closet

Admitting to having hidden and troubling secrets.

Constantly rattling

Constantly dealing with unsettling thoughts and emotions.

I got addictions I'm constantly battling

Struggling with ongoing personal addictions.

Lost in the damage

Feeling lost amid the damage caused by life's challenges.

Where do you go when it's too much to manage

Questioning where to turn when life becomes overwhelming.

I'd rather just vanish

Expressing a desire to escape or disappear.

We were just skipping rocks down by the river bed,

Recalling a moment of carefree joy, skipping rocks by the river bed.

You were way better at skipping so fuck it let's skip it ahead

Choosing to fast-forward through life with a loved one.

Now your dead

Reflecting on the death of a loved one.

The truth hurts

Acknowledging the painful reality of the truth.

I don't know what's next

Uncertainty about the future.

I'm not who I thought I was

Realizing a discrepancy between self-perception and reality.

Are you who you thought you would be

Pondering if others are who they expected to be.
