How fast we appear
From whispers to roaring cheers
As precious as fear

How fast we shoot up
School to class to BA up
Who needs a backup

How fast work enchains
Commute call meet mail print blame
Soul fragments remain

How fast love upsets
Happily losing all bets
Always the best yet

How fast clouds rumble
Even brilliance stumbles
Youth and love crumble

How fast colours fade
True blue rainbows become greyed
Honesty to trade

How fast darkness falls
Carelessly upon us all
Inevitable

How fast the light comes
More quickly than you will run
Everything undone
