life

Life is the heaviest burden
It's also the most buoyant boat
'Cause just when you think
That you're starting to sink
That's when you will rise up and float

Life is the most terrible thing
That any one person can bear
'Cause just when it seems
You can only hear screams
There's a pure, gentle laughter in there
Life is a mundane TV show
That sometimes is laced with intrigue
But trivial events
Only block your ascent
Into things that content and appease

Life is stretched out over time
That sometimes may seem like too long
But you only see
That it's temporary
When the time that you have's almost gone
