Lack of ...


Proverbs 5:11 New English Translation (NET Bible)

11 And at the end of your life, you will groan
when your flesh and your body are wasted away.

 

Destined

Coming on strong almost like an odor

Lack of personality on life’s trampoline

Try to get along without a motivator

Ignoring all quality so not to be seen

 

Sliding by the wayside and really gutter bound

Thinking you’re better as you’re breathing own exhaust

Looking for a free ride removed from solid ground

Getting slowly fatter at someone else’s cost

 

Surely the day is coming or maybe already here

That the bill is due and can’t be postponed

The piper is humming enjoying this sphere

To see you come unglued in destiny dethroned
