when fuel runs low, a fire dies

the heart starts to slow and the mind starts to wander

the words all fall and stand up as lies

past lives and futures I start to ponder

the best laid plans are only so strong

the work required takes its toll

that which is short while we wish for the long

moving through mist, the body with no soul

Do you remember what is was like to dream

when the deepest sleep came in an instant

with restless nights the days do seem

like false memories, though still I miss it

The mistakes were made, the life was lost

payments we shared despite the cost
