Zenith by Edward Hartline

if you're hearing this right now
i must've made it out alive
yknow i never once believed
id see a day post 25

this is the oldest that ive been
might not be the oldest that i get
i'm sure it all seems rather new
i don't know what comes after this

for the past 10 years ive seen the light
the blinding red of an exit sign
a quarter century seemed fine
if not a little bit too much

i did my worst i did my best
i'll have to learn from that i guess
but now i bet im scared to death
knowing there's still more to come

if you're hearing this right now
i must've made it out alive
i bet i feel so stupid now
just by getting to midnight

this is the oldest ive ever been
older than i ever thought
that's its own miracle i guess
or a sign to cash in what ive got

i didn't find peace i didn't find god
just a 3 way street and a 4 chord song
just a small town kid in a big town box
and some swallowed pride that i couldn't keep down

what was i doing yesterday
had too much to drink and too much to say
but i guess i made it out okay
however barely i made it out
if you're hearing this right now
