This Life
This life is such a hard lesson.
Society makes it hard to show expression.
Can't decide whether to laugh or cry.
I cannot stand these brainwashed lies.
This life is such a strange mystery.
With a deep and dark deranged history.
Why should I believe that happiness exists?
When depression is all this life depicts.
This life has questions but no answers.
Yet we all crave for brain enhancers.
We'll never find the drug that heals.
Cause society wants our souls to steal.
This life is not what it seems.
Ask yourself, just what does life mean?
You will not like what you hear,
Cause it's so hard to face fear.
This life is what you make it.
Read between the lines of fake shit.
You must try to have some fun,
Before this life is over and done.
