Analysis of Age Rubbishes Youthful Days
Look at yourself in the mirror
What exactly do you see of yourself
The look of yesterday is fading off
Look you so much cared for like love
Look at yourself again in the mirror
But it was just yesterday the last time
What do you see of yourself
Ages wanning palms rubbing off your beauty
Memories begin to wane
Just as the wall of the flesh begin to crack
Anxieties of yesterday lost in he unknown
Wisdom of later end takes the stage of life
Age makes it magic tricks on us
Selling to us the only choice available to buy
Even against our will we still obeyed
Rubbishes our youthful days with pale tales
