I’ve got all that I need
I’m living in a dream
I’ve seen my own nose bleed
More times than I want to believe

I’ve been running away
In one place I find it hard to stay
Everyone decays the same way
Why would you rush to the grave,
you’ve still got more to live
How could your family ever forgive,
you for just what you did
How could you ever live again,
when you’ve lost all your friends.
What’s the point to race,
when you’re more safe
at your own pace.
How could you be in first,
or even last place?
You’re alone in a wall-less maze
You alone, know the way.

Stand up and face your fears,
Always remember to pick and choose your peers
And when you look in the mirror
Accept whomever appears
But be weary of your leers,
And how you really appear-

The only way to win,
is to live until the end.
Caution when you begin,
Until you full-send
Remember with each grin,
the life that you’re in
will ultimately end
