Don't you ever

Stop.

Don’t stop.

Don’t ever stop.

Not in this world.

Not ever.

 

If you stop

If you blink to think

You’ll miss it

You’ll miss everything.

 

The love

The hate

Your childhood years

Your adult years.

 

If you stop

Even for a second

Then you start again

You’ll have missed ten years

Six seconds you’re an old man

Ten seconds you’re dead.

 

In this world

“Now a days”

You can’t

“Stop and smell the roses.”

 

Fill your body with coffee

Fill your body with caffeine

You have to keep going

Faster now!

 

Life is going by

Flying by

Faster now!

Than it ever has

 

Don’t stop

Don’t ever stop

You’ll miss it

You’ll miss everything

But only

If you stop

 

So please

I beg you

stop.
