Time

You know it's time when

you have nothing left to give, but there's plenty more to take

You know it's time when

the spark that was once there starts to die

You know it's time when

you hold more pain than pleasure

You know it's time when

you look it in the face and see nothing but sorrow

You know it's time when

you have to force a smile

You know it's time when

you start disconnecting

You know it's time when

you dread the existential

But do you really know when it's time

Will you really ever know

Can you tell me how you know

Can you tell me how things will be different

Can you prove to me it's not all for show
