Life
Life is not some beast you can tame
Not some creature you can just name
Life is not some control you can manipulate
Not some stone statue, Not some name you create
What does this solemn word mean?
This weak excuse for a home
It exists inside us all
And we're still on our own
Life is not some bet you can call
Not some odds that cause a brawl
Life does not distinguish fair from unfair
Not some lopsided unpleasant affair
The life that leads us down the dark road
The life that destroys our humble abode
Is the life that we've been given
Not a choice to be mistakenly forgiven
Not some creature you can just name
Life is not some control you can manipulate
Not some stone statue, Not some name you create
What does this solemn word mean?
This weak excuse for a home
It exists inside us all
And we're still on our own
Life is not some bet you can call
Not some odds that cause a brawl
Life does not distinguish fair from unfair
Not some lopsided unpleasant affair
The life that leads us down the dark road
The life that destroys our humble abode
Is the life that we've been given
Not a choice to be mistakenly forgiven
