Not Your Show
by
Mark M. DeRobertis
You understand about as much as a flea
You couldn’t ever know what happened to me
It’s not your show
You recognize the ones who seem to agree
Reality is not so easy to see
But now I know
Once at least or twice a day
As the leaves are blowing away
You will look death in the eye
Don’t ask when don’t even ask why
Will it come for you, will it come tonight
Is it overdue, will you try to fight
You can’t just ignore, you can’t just pretend
No use to implore, you’ll know it’s the end
Angels flying overhead
Demons vying when you are dead
Which one are you suited for
When death’s knocking right at your door
What I said is all that I know...but you just won’t ever believe me
This is how our spirits grow...onward to the next level
Take my words and throw ‘em away...this is how you always repay me
You said there’s no god today...and you said there’s no devil
Who...do you believe is waiting for you after living
You...would never try to overcome all your misgiving
Sometimes you might want to believe...you found light for only a moment
Something in your heart would grieve...somehow you were enlightened
But you end up turning away...you decided that you were better
Than the people here today...deep inside you stay frightened
Then...revealing all your vice you give in to your urges
When...you should have knelt down on your knees and prayed in churches
How will you start answering when...you find out that all of it’s over
Until you are born again...but you won’t believe in it
Inside you don’t like what you found...when you took a look in the mirror
With more time you’d come around...but you won’t take one minute...yeah
In your heart you know that it’s true...but I’m sure you’ll never admit it
And you won’t know what to do...when the Reaper comes biddin’
When you lay inside of your grave...do you think you’ll only be sleeping
Or you have a soul to save...something you have kept hidden
Now...you change the way you practice beliefs inside your head
That were always there
No matter who is watching instead you think about
What you’ll do and where
You see the time is never too late to make amends
That you need to make
And serve a retribution now that you know in time
How much is at stake
