This Moment

This moment will never exist again,

We try to rewind, but the film just bends.

Time will never hold itself in this stillness,

It slips through my hands like a lover’s distance.

We waste lifetimes waiting for something greater,

But the truth is here, not somewhere later.

Forgetting that greater is already here,

Right in the silence, right in the fear.

In the sky that will never look the same again,

I see the stars burn out like old friends.

In the faces of strangers who somehow feel familiar,

I’m haunted by hearts that feel too similar.

Tomorrow’s never promised—so I breathe it in,

This fleeting instant, the ache, the spin.

And I swear right now, this second feels infinite,

Yeah, the weight of eternity lives in it.

In the wind that carries the scent of places you can’t hold onto,

I hear whispers of things I once ran through.

Every heartbeat’s a clock with a mind of its own,

Every second’s a ghost of a life I’ve known.

We waste lifetimes waiting for something greater,

But maybe the ending’s just the narrator.

Forgetting that greater is already here,

In the ache, in the tear, in what disappears.

In the sky that will never look the same again,

I see the stars burn out like old friends.

In the faces of strangers who somehow feel familiar,

I’m haunted by hearts that feel too similar.

Tomorrow’s never promised—so I breathe it in,

This fleeting instant, the ache, the spin.

And I swear right now, this second feels infinite,

Yeah, the weight of eternity lives in it.

This moment right now will be a memory,

Written in the dark of my anatomy.

The only thing that matters is how deep I live it,

How much I break, how much I give it.

In the sky that will never look the same again,

The world ends softly, then begins.

In the faces of strangers who somehow feel familiar,

I lose myself, but it feels peculiar.

Tomorrow’s never promised—so I breathe it in,

This fleeting instant, the ache, the spin.

And I swear right now, this second feels infinite,

Yeah, the weight of eternity lives in it.

This moment will never exist again…

So I live it like it’s the end.
