Count What You Create

She said "This is a moment for your mind to be free."
I said "Baby, they all matter to me
I ain't on this earth to shine and then fade
I'm here to keep shining for the rest of my days."

'Cos I've got direction but no time to explain
So just give me your number and maybe your name
In years still to come they'll be singing our names
Well, as long as we promise to go out in flames

My friend said that I like to pretend
And think that my stories will be told once again
But I said "Friend, I could not care less
I just want to remember every day I've got left."

From my point of view there is more to be found
And I'll walk all the earth 'til it comes around
Or don't you think we can really be free
Well now who really knows at least 'til we leave

And all your life which vanished in the haze
It never meant much anyway
And hear me out, I won't make the same mistake
They only count what you create

So much direction, no time to explain
Well there's so many numbers and so many names
In years far from now they'll be singing our names
Saying how we lived on and went down in flames
