they say you can't tell the future
most have fear for what will come
but not me, I've seen what's ahead
I have a plan for when I turn twenty-one
I'm working towards it, striving
it's my ultimate goal
because on that blessed day
I can finally rest my soul
I wish I may
I wish I might
I wish to fast forward
let tomorrow come tonight
I've seen the future
I've rigged the cards
I've loaded the dice
I'm destined to win
I've cheated fate
I've loved and forgiven
I've forgotten hate
but shush now,
let me close my eyes
they say two can keep a secret
if one of them dies
(that's a metaphor
you wouldn't understand
that's why I keep quiet
why I don't share my plans)
I've seen the future
I'm hiding from the past
I know what to do
silence is key
but the one thing missing is you
you're missing from me
