No way you're going to make believe it's real
The beautiful unknown
Casting a shadow on all your views
It's hosting your energies with each step 
That part of everyone we can't heal or set free 
All so unaware, there is no wonder
 
Don't read it from a book 
Worth a million words, like a star-filled sky
 
You won't appreciate it till it's gone
Take a breath, the moment's seized 
We all wait till the end draws nearer
You won't appreciate it till it's gone
 
This day, life picked you up and turned its wheels
Wish it had lasted long
There is no running, cannot elude 
It's settling inside of me, in my head
Often a common phase I conceal, no release
State of affairs is the performer
 
Our time here overlooked
Look into its worth, know the reasons why
 
You won't appreciate it till it's gone
Eventually hang up the dream 
But I have never seen things clearer
You won't appreciate it till it's gone
