No Excuses

Out of sight
 Out of sight and out of mind
 Make a fossil fuel of time
 And exhaust it
 Bring it home
 Bring it straight back home to me
 You can hate mortality
 But you can't stop it
 No excuses
 No little white lies
 No more promises left to break
 Take your chances
 Whenever they arise
 Or one day it'll be too late
 Memories
 Memories are made of snow
 They diminish in the blow
 Of ambition
 One last chance
 One last golden chance remains
 To ignore it or to change
 It's your decision
 No excuses
 Don't turn away
 Don't say you've done all that you can
 You've had chances
 But you've been afraid
 I'm afraid of who I am
 But now I understand
 Plant a seed
 Plant a seed and watch it grow
 Watch the green shoots start to show
 See it flowering
 With each flower
 With each tendril bloom and stem
 It is giving thanks to them
 Who gave everything
