I wonder what it is

I wonder what it is that'd keep me going

I wonder what it is that'd keep me going if certainty pronounced:

I wonder what it is that'd keep me going if certainty pronounced: "Purely sorrow lies

I wonder what it is that'd keep me going if certainty pronounced: "Purely sorrow lies on the road ahead."

Something happens as you age,

Something happens as you age, as if nothing mattered

Something happens as you age, as if nothing mattered but the ones

Something happens as you age, as if nothing mattered but the ones for which you care.

A late state

But for some pleasure comes from no-comfort and the willingness to pick up of all the shit
