We fade away, but vivid in our eyes
A world is born again that never dies.

Nope. I stick to my life on Earth.

Lolita. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.

Eternity can be as short as 15 minutes when you're waiting for something

When you're grateful to them for giving you the things you should already have anyway, ask yourself why."

Depends on how you perceive eternity. We all have different mindsets which are developed as we age, through the surroundings that we are subject to, and stuff like that. Eternity for a child waiting to play a game at the arcade could be about 5 minutes. :p

This used to drive me nuts when I was younger. It would keep me up at night. I also used to obsess over "nothingness" and the world ending.

Sitting through the Star Wars prequels generally evokes that feeling.. Is it time to die yet?

Easy now, you're going to break the universe if you keep that up.
