This world, they say it’s weary and that it’s seen a lot
And people, you know they’re tired of the battles that they’ve fought
Some, they keep on pushing, still trying to get ahead
But no one’s been listening to the things that are said
We like to blame others for our own confusions
Still we are the victims of our own delusions
Serenity can be found, though, if you’re not trying too hard
You can escape most of the pain, if you don’t let down your guard
If there were a thousand hours in each and every day
Would you put aside the pressure, to find the time to pray?
Find the time, smell the flower, watch the stars, climb the tower
See the babes, kiss the women, tame the beast, gain the power
The evil that constrains you, and the good that you find
They don’t make it easy, even on the most powerful mind
We falter and waver, continuing to bleed
And sometimes life doesn’t offer just what we need
Wouldn’t it be so easy to just give up and give in?
Wouldn’t it be better to forget the places you’ve been?
Instead, we stockpile emptiness and on nothing we feed
Thinking about vacuum and lighting up the weed
We falter and waver, laughing as we bleed
Knowing that life never offers just what we need
