LIFE
Life is passing by
Without even living
Life is passing by
The only thing we do
Is literally breathing
Life is a winding road
Why do we need to be barefoot
All by the way that is so long
One day life is too simple
For our sophisticated heart
The other day it is too complex
And tooย hard
To even breathe
Life is passing by
Like a white lie
Killing our innocence
Life is passing by
No need to say good bye
To our hearts that are about to die
Life is too simple
Like a burden to us
Life is too complicated
Like a story overrrated
Life is calling now
The blink of death
Shall we accept the invitation...
