outlined in snow
outlined in dirt
feel the difference
6 feet under
today is tomorrow
and tomorrow is tomorrow is tomorrow

there's never enough coffee
there's never enough air
there's never enough time
count the seconds
with your heartbeat
closer and closer to existence
till you fall off the edge
who says the world isn't flat

preach preach preach preach
and then complain for the acclaim
it's modern times
Ace

don't forget to
ready
aim
fire
or you might just miss the target

right between the eyes
Ace

I like this..

'there's never enough coffee
there's never enough air
there's never enough time
count the seconds
with your heartbeat
closer and closer to existence
till you fall off the edge
who says the world isn't flat'

says it all..

Enjoyed it.

Something catchy about this and Im not at all sure why. It's quite suiting to modern times which is probably why I prefer the premodern times best. Less chaos for one.
I liked reading this.

I like this. The title is good too. Modern Times, next to The Great Dictator, is my favorite Charlie Chaplin film, lol.

"6 feet under
today is tomorrow
and tomorrow is tomorrow is tomorrow"

Very powerful tone in this piece and it is laced with truth. Well done indeed. Cheers  - Ed
