It's a _ life

Why do you walk around the streets at night

With stinging pain behind your eyes

Fist clenched teeth grit

Why's it like this

And hold it in so none can tell

You're really not doing so well

Heart hurt brain broke

Feels like could choke

Time says that you can't control

The come and go of growing old

So you know that nothing gold can last

But didn't count on it so fast

Eye blink long gone

Feeling so wrong

And how to not get overwhelmed

When folks you know will die as well

And who can stop this steady flow

Of souls moving to and fro
