Everyone is paying
a life made of dues.
Everyone is running
but no one’s wearing shoes.
We all know the ending
it always has us lose.
Everyone is eating
not noticing their food.
Everyone is driving
without a wheel to use.
We all know the ending
it always has us lose.
Everyone is spending
with money overdrew.
Everyone is praying
to something misconstrued.
We all know the ending
it always has us lose.
Everyone is wedding
but never holding true.
Everyone is learning
information never used.
We all know the ending
it always has us lose.
The world is a movie
with a never-ending plot.
Our cup that we’re filling
will never reach the top.
One thing that I’m seeing
is that life is just a clock.
Take life for granted,
and you’ll watch it unfold.
Live empty-handed,
and you’re bound to implode.
To live is to take chances,
what comes next is unknown.
