Rough Draft - Enchant

Why do we loan ourselves to things by which we will never be repaid

And feel consoled by tomorrow when today has been profaned?

Confused by choices … or blind to cause-and-effect and a future gravestone

Today’s a draft of your epitaph

Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave

Update your draft of your epitaph

'Till you crash and break like a wave

I’ll hope to file away my account today, and see in it some value

And appreciate all that I’ve had, before I quit this venue

Confused by choices … but alive to cause-and-effect and a eventual gravestone

Today’s a draft of your epitaph

Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave

Update your draft of your epitaph

'Till you crash and break like a wave

Something about someone with a hood and a scythe …

Something about a date you just can’t … cancel

Eulogies, memories, services, tombstones, flowers, candles, tears and regrets

If I ask myself, every day, 'is today the day?'

Then one day, it will be … my final draft

Lost in today …

Confused by choices … or blind to cause-and-effect …

And a future gravestone, an eventual gravestone …

Today’s a draft

Today’s a draft of your epitaph

Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave

Update your draft of your epitaph

'Till you crash and break like a wave
