the good I wish I could do I do the very evil that I hate this I do
have I bitten off far more then I could ever chew
what a mess we made of this life I must confess
we have constructed pyramids to honor are dead

don't get me wrong we want to do right but something tears us apart...
choose to be selfless in such a selfless world you see
we hear things but it goes in one ear out the other
why do we even bother

quick conclusions will often lead the best of us astray
the wisest move in life is but to wait
otherwise are galloping emotions run away like horses at the gate
getting stuck in the mix call it a quick fix

the people of society can't help you cause they can't help themselves
maybe I should put that book right back on the shelf
these are desolate times yet we settle for ill but faded rhymes
got one foot in heaven while the other is in hell

yet we all have a good story in which to tell
the ordeal within with one you can depend
come help me my friend
life goes by to fast no one gets by on any free pass
