To whoever it may concern,

I know how much the hurt can burn,

I know its hard, when at every turn,

There is no help, no solution, no end

*

You get up, deal with it, barely

You lay down, sleep on it, barely

You get up, deal with it, rarely

You lay down, sleep on it, rarely

Recycle the cycle

*

Rinse, repeat

Recycle the cycle

There are pressures, but you keep going

It seems hopeless, but you keep sowing

Rinse, repeat

Recycle the cycle

*

What else can you do?

What else is there?

If you don't, who will?

If you don't, who will notice?

Someone

*

Sometimes...life

Life is just a grind until it halts

Don't get caught when it simply defaults

Try to slow the jive down to a waltz

But keep going

Keep going

*

Recycle the cycle

*

If life and love and everything is just a game

And you're not winning

Change the game and rewrite the rules

If life and love and everything is just for fools

And you're not laughing

Rewrite the game and change the rules

*

Best Wishes

X
