Immortality

I used to be immortal
I remember it very well
I had no fear of dying
Not as far as I could tell
I had no doubt that I would live forever
Knew the day I'd die cuz that would be never
I had endless time for any endeavor
I knew everything cus I was so clever

Way back in the day
I thought I knew an awful lot
I guess I got away with it
At least I didn't get caught
I was lucky, hanging by a thread
I lived to tell the tale, I didn't end up dead
Somehow I became a man you see
By surviving, my immortality

I lived through the never dying
Not for the lack of trying
But I got older and time got short
Life got a hold on me
Years went by when I wasn't looking
They got away from me, then
One day like it or not I lost
My immortality

It's not 'bout what you remember
About me when I'm gone
And it's not about hanging on
On and on and on and on
It's the way I found myself living
It seemed there wasn't any other way to be
If life was only going to be temporary
Why should I give up
My immortality

I lived through the never dying
Not for the lack of trying
But I got older and the time got short
Life got a hold on me
Years went by when I wasn't looking
They got away from me, then
One day like it or not I lost
My immortality

Looking back I sometimes miss
How danger used to be my very best friend
I guess it made me feel more alive
Feeling life was never ever going to end
These days I watch all the new immortals
Trying out all the different ways to be
And I really hope that they survive
Their immortality
And I really hope that they survive
Their immortality
