Death & all his friends

All winter we got carried away

Over on the rooftops, let's get married

All summer we just hurried

So come over, just be patient, & don't worry

So come over, just be patient & don't worry

yes. all winter, all summer, we trudged through. we couldn't wait for each passing day to end. we live each day like serving out a sentence of time in jail. we look forward to the next phase, only to find ourselves looking forward to the next one. we couldn't wait to get our lives over with. then what?

So come over, just be patient & don't worry

And don't worry

Try

Try

Try

No i don't want to battle from beginning to end

I don't want to cycle or recycle revenge

I don't want to follow death & all of his friends

No, i don't want to battle from beginning to end

I don't want to cycle or recycle revenge

I don't want to follow death & all of his friends

we got one life. live it. think back on one important moment of your life. think hard. & let go. do you realise that you can never go back to that exact moment, exact time or place again? do you wish to live always saying, "Oh how i wish i couldve bla and bla" And yes life's too short for hate & revenge. people with hurt you & break you, no doubt. but pay it forward with love. hate is tiring.

"No sadness lasts forever, nor any felicity - Nor any state of poverty or one of luxury. If you are the owner of a heart that is content - Then you and the owner of the world is equivalent" [Imam ash-Shafie]

nothing lasts forever. not you not me not anything. we are all the same decaying organic matter that'll eventually be reduced to nothingness. we all know that we're gonna die someday. but if we truly actually BELIEVED in that, would be still be acting the way we are now? #questiontoponder

And in the end

We lie awake & we dream of making our escape

And in the end

We lie awake & we dream of making our escape

but there's no escape. to Him we shall return. and may we be called, "O self at rest & at peace, return to your Lord, well-pleasing & well-pleased! Enter among My servants! Enter My Garden!" Amin ya Rabbal Alamin.




alfatihah to all those whom Allah have picked to take back to Him these past few weeks. God gives, God takes, God's name be ever praised. Allahuakbar!
