If happiness is key
Then what of the door?
A room with no exit
Just walls and a floor
*It unlocks many things
Let life give you wings*
If life is a blessing
Then why do I hurt?
A life not worth living
It’s but an insult
*Cherish all that you feel
With time all will heal*
*You question your own life
Ignore the given
Play the fool and the child
Even the deaf listen*
If time is a constant
Then why’d nights stand still?
Air hangs without motion
Breathe breaths that don’t fill
*You’ll find peace in the dark
Listen to your heart*
If hearts do have rhythm
Then why’s there no beat?
With eyes frozen open
I am dead asleep
*You questioned your own life
Ignored the given
Played the fool and the child
Even the deaf listen*

A life not worth living
It’s but an insult
*Cherish all that you feel
With time all will heal*
*You question your own life
Ignore the given
Play the fool and the child
Even the deaf listen*
If time is a constant
Then why’d nights stand still?
Air hangs without motion
Breathe breaths that don’t fill
*You’ll find peace in the dark
Listen to your heart*
If hearts do have rhythm
Then why’s there no beat?
With eyes frozen open
I am dead asleep
*You questioned your own life
Ignored the given
Played the fool and the child
Even the deaf listen*
