Life is a cycle we follow, a dream
We fall asleep and wake as dust
Living lucidly, flowing down a stream
Our love for life revealed as lust
Life’s dream is nothing and painful
Why do we continue this circle?

Anything that goes up must come down
Like a bird we fly and relish freedom
But eventually we fall, our pain without sound
Like that we’re gone, a predicted outcome
If we all must wake up, life mortal
Why do we continue this circle?

Like a dream we have no control
We are dictated in body and mind
Falling down into an infinite hole
Here we live as if deaf and blind
Helpless like a flipped turtle
Why do we continue this circle?

This dream is a nightmare, I fear
But it doesn’t have to be if we choose
What happens is yours to commandeer
Take life by the reigns, there is nothing to lose
Death is but a stage to life eternal
So take your life and forge it’s cycle
