Future’s Reckoning

Yo...

I need to ask you something.

Yeah.

I'm staring at a mirror but I see a gray beard

Looking at the future that I always kinda feared I'm running on

three hours of sleep,

chasing a check

Wrecking my body, putting miles on my neck Is the money in

the bank worth the winters alone?

Will I end up just a shadow sitting on a gold throne?

(tell me)

Ghost of my future,

talk back to me

Is this the man that I wanted to be?

Losing my sleep for a promise of gold Are we gonna be

happy when we are old?

(tell

me

now)

I skipped another dinner just to finish up a draft Forgot the

last time that I sat down and laughed I got a hundred

different risks running in my head

Wondering if I'll regret the words I never said When your knees

start to ache and the vision gets blur Do you look back

at these years as a beautiful blur?

Or just a waste?

(hummmmm) Is anybody there?

(is anybody there?)

Ghost of my future,

talk back to me

Is this the man that I wanted to be?

Losing my sleep for a promise of gold Are we gonna be

happy when we are old?

(tell me now)

Just ticking away...

(tick,

tick, tick) Was it worth it?
