Lived
Pretense is smothered just being
Indifference stabbed by the heart
An ignorant mind is shot
The old foundation is poisoned
Choking off food for sinister thought
As optimism drowns out sorrow
Pensively taking stock
Of the tormentous years lived
Wisdom gives serenity its due
Fantasy is a fading pastime
As death becomes forthcoming
As life is lived peace by peace
We have lived,
But it's today, or
We can always begin tomorrow
Indifference stabbed by the heart
An ignorant mind is shot
The old foundation is poisoned
Choking off food for sinister thought
As optimism drowns out sorrow
Pensively taking stock
Of the tormentous years lived
Wisdom gives serenity its due
Fantasy is a fading pastime
As death becomes forthcoming
As life is lived peace by peace
We have lived,
But it's today, or
We can always begin tomorrow
