about

Title Track from SPAN PHLY's 5th solo LP.

lyrics

Nothing stays the same and they say it's the only constant/ the days waste away til your left with an empty promise/ less than honest/ modesty and moderation/ save yourself from the stress and reinvest in your education/ we can't just make it all stop in a good spot/ cause somewhere else someone is having the worst moment of their life/ and if it was possible and it could stop/ I don't think you would want/ to walk around with the thought of the pause button on your mind/ it's a climb with a similar destination/ and you can control the outcome and how you get there/ so it's about your mark and how you decide to make it/ statement of patience while waiting for that breath of fresh air/ instead of fighting the system/ use it to your advantage/ it's cliche but don't take any moment for granted/ cause one day you won't have it and at that time you'll either be fulfilled or saddened/ by what you did or what you hadn't/


chorus

It only happens once
It only happens once
It only happens once and since nothing lasts forever I'm a make it to the front/

Because you can't stay here/ and you can't take it with you/ no amount of money will help you forgive you/ so we rewind on the good times and shit we've been through/ while fighting with that percentage of our brain we misuse/ I hope they miss you/ ripping through the issues/ thinking that your miniscule life exists to fix you/ cause it all starts and ends inside of your head/ so find enlightenment and try to get used to faking your death/ when it's all said and done/ I'll be the one who let it run/ and said his piece while making peace with everything he said he loved/ and everyone who had a problem never solved it/ trying to be the man but the door was always revolving/ evolving out of that child like phase of playing head games/ is the only way to live to see your best days/ regret pays a visit when the hour glass is made up of the sand that was inside it/ there's nothing left to count and keep the timing/

chorus

I don't seize the moment/ I free the frozen/ proofreading my eulogy rudely in the open/ comatose/ slowly slipping away to the potion/ only hope is some focus through all the commotion/ so I suppose it's the reason I show so much emotion/ and have so little to show for my intelligence quotient/ doubt is potent/ sent my life in slow motion/ floating up in the sky while trying to find a sign to go with/
