Rough Draft lyrics

Why do we loan ourselves to things by which we will never be repaid And feel consoled by tomorrow when today has been profaned? Confused by choices ... or blind to cause-and-effect and a future gravestone Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave I'll hope to file away my account today, and see in it some value And appreciate all that I've had, before I quit this venue Confused by choices ... but alive to cause-and-effect and a eventual gravestone Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave Something about someone with a hood and a scythe ... Something about a date you just can't ... cancel Eulogies, memories, services, tombstones, flowers, candles, tears and regrets If I ask myself, every day, 'is today the day?' Then one day, it will be ... my final draft Lost in today ... Confused by choices ... or blind to cause-and-effect ... And a future gravestone, an eventual gravestone ... Today's a draft Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave
