Everest

So insignificant
Staring up to the sky
Waking into the concept of how small I am
A silent flash on our timeline
A quiet pause in the form
Within which we reside

Is it so hopeless for us to know
To find a purpose in this fleeting, frail world
We spend our whole lives
Our whole time
This one life to be waiting

To be waiting
To be waiting

For a purpose to be
A destiny
A burning desire
To believe in something more
But in this journey
We forget who we are

Is it so hopeless for us to know
To find a purpose in this fleeting, frail world
We spend our whole lives
Our whole time
This one life to be waiting

And I promised myself that I
Would never know
What it feels like to live
In a wasted existence
And I told you I'd never lie
About who I am
And now I can't even trust myself
Who am I now?
And I promised I'd never die
With something left to give

Is it foolish to think that I
Could spend this whole life
My whole time
This one life I lead living
