I Don't Have the Time for Destiny
I've never believed in destiny.
No, the stars never whispered my name,
my future
I grabbed my own fate with two hungry hands,
pulling and pushing and molding my life,
leaving smudges and dirty fingerprints all
over a once clean soul.
My mistakes belong entirely to me.
No, the stars never mapped out a path for me
to follow, never planned my downfalls, my
triumphs.
I rule the stars, not the other way around.
I take their dust and inject it into my veins;
I breathe in their light as
I live
I live
I live
