You are born into this life given no choice but to live it
Until you reach that certain age where death is always present
No one warns you that existence is but survival of the fittest
I guess that Darwin knew what he was saying when he predicted that the weak don’t seem to make it
Youth in this society are bombarded from all directions
But how can we account for that when we’re told we shouldn’t be defenseless
“You have nothing to ever worry about”, “you’re being dramatic and hysteric”
Well thanks that really solves the issue that we don’t want to end up like our parents
So its a cycle with an end and we can always see it coming
Our humanity is directly connected to knowing the inevitability of dying
So we’ll pay our bills and work til late to pay off the student debt we never wanted
And let the records show that it’s normal for our bodies to not be lived in but merely haunted
