Life didn't just happen, we chose it to be
At a time when we sailed winds, wild and free
Watching, waiting, bracing this body we own, Yet it's not ours just borrowed, not grown
We landed here, took a name, placed a bet, Where shame, pride, and hands were all that we met. Before the now, all that we knew stood still
Floating through spaces, outside of the will
Residing where we were placed, unaware
In freedom far from a mind's tangled snare
We've seen these scenes, they feel like they've been
Each time a new view but déjà-vu within
A word built to trick, keep the mind in control
Not knowing it's truth that'll render us whole
If you listen close, you'll hear what's left
The soul dissolving into the mind's depth
Journeys we take, stories we sell
For warmth to replace the cold that we quell
We do it again and again 'til the toll
Hits us hard at the edge of the mirror's soul
There, you'll feel it something draws near
A spark deep inside, but shadowed by fear
The fear's just knowing that our time is done
And the vessel we chose can no longer run
Light dips, fades, until sound starts to grow
The hum of what's gone, though we don't quite know. The sound isn't clear; it's no longer here
We drift away, untethered from fear
But if you let it be, you'll see it's bright
Not the light we thought, but the absence of fight. The real you wakes, gives you one final chance, To glimpse what we chose in life's first glance
Joy came in weakness, in might, in pain, We only want back what we can't reclaim
That light you saw, Not brightness, but fear, A gateway away from all we held dear
I've been there before, settled my score
Hated my mind, yet want nothing more
Freedom we crave was that space back then, Escaping the pit, the pen, again and again
A prison of nothing, no loss, no gain
No laughter, no names, no love to sustain
Just know this as we age and drift to the sea, We leave the mind behind, yet still wish to be
Living and existing they aren't the same, But you need both, to weather life's game
Life Life
Life didn't just happen the fear's just knowing that our time is done, the soul disolving into minds depth
Journeys we take, stories we sell
For warmth to replace the cold that we quell
We do it again and again 'til the toll
Hits us hard at the edge of the mirror's soul
There, you'll feel it something draws near
A spark deep inside, but shadowed by fear
The fear's just knowing that our time is done, the soul disolving into the minds depth
The fear's just knowing that our time is done, but life didn't just happen
The fear's just knowing that our time is done, the soul disolving into the minds depth
The fear's just knowing that our time is done, bit life didn't just happen.
