harry mack - as time goes on lyrics

[intro]
yeah
sh+t is crazy, man
time just keeps on movin’
that’s one thing we can bet on
know time is undefeated man
i’m not in my 20s anymore
’bout to turn 34, got me thinking on some deep sh+t, for real
listen

[verse 1]
sometimes i wonder if i’ll simply run out
of new lyrics to say, dwindle into a drought
no brainstorms to roll through and water the crops
will i reach a point where i figure i oughta just stop?
will i be forced to feel the despair of cowards
who face the blank page and just stare for hours?
try to write something clever but in spite of my efforts
no ink spills, papyrus stays as dry as a desert
will i hold on to delusions of more song creations
with no true contribution to the conversation?
will i accept it or fight and struggle and then
grit my t++th harder and white+knuckle the pen?
will i have dismantle my identity?
or find a new way to channel the energy?
perhaps i’ll continue until the day i rot in the grave
regardless, i’m grateful for the words i’m jotting today
you know?
[chorus]
said as time goes, yeah, as time goes on
i’m hoping i can keep my mind so strong
i’m hoping i can keep shining on ’til my body declines, spirit climbs beyond
said as time goes, yeah, as time goes on
i’m hoping i can keep my mind so strong
i’m hoping i can keep writing songs to right my wrongs, until the day i’m finally gone

[verse 2]
“if a tree falls in the forest and n0body hears…?”
i ponder this question as i grow older in years
i’m still young with plenty of energy
but eventually my skin will be weathered like old leather
or 70s vintage furniture pieces, full of permanent creases
they say at later stages, it’s harder to learn from the teachers
due to lack of neuroplasticity, pray i’m fighting to challenge this
i can’t have a mind chill of calluses
so i’m reading books, underlining key phrases for the +n+lysis
making sp+ces to stay creative and childish
writing poetry and still reciting it vocally
even when the hairs on my beard have whitened totally, i wonder
when i’m old jotting these
rhymes like a lumberjack swinging properly
if i ain’t got no more fans steady watching me
will my sound still vibrate when i’m chopping trees?
i said
[chorus]
said as time goes, yeah, as time goes on
i’m hoping i can keep my mind so strong
i’m hoping i can keep shining on ’til my body declines, spirit climbs beyond
said as time goes, yeah, as time goes on
i’m hoping i can keep my mind so strong
i’m hoping i can keep writing songs to right my wrongs, until the day i’m finally gone
