Just because I'm over 40 doesn't mean I can't turn up the aggression! This was a fun challenge playing around with different schemes in the verses. I dig!

lyrics

I've got no energy, this pain is killing me
I don't know why I cry, when I say goodbye
Always on the line, never breaking time, in my prime
No more night and day, just at bay, watch me go away
No apologies, can't you see, got no guarantees
Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind

I've got this feeling running through my head
Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead
I've got this feeling running through my head
Life is over when you're walking on a thread

Now I've come to see, more are younger than me
It happens every day, doesn't matter anyway
Never knowing why, in my eye, that I mystify
Learning is the truth, of my youth, in a ticket booth
Waiting for the time, of decline, watch me fail to shine
Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind

I've got this feeling running through my head
Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead
I've got this feeling running through my head
Life is over when you're walking on a thread

Like a sacred vow, I'm old and wiser now
Call it what you will, I still seek the thrill
Standing on the past, not as fast but my brain is vast
I'm a sign of hope, not a joke like a horoscope
On the day I die, in my eye, watch me say goodbye
Breaking in my mind, breaking in my mind, in my mind

I've got this feeling running through my head
Now I'm living soon I'm wishing I was dead
I've got this feeling running through my head
Life is over when you're walking on a thread
