To Live without a Future

from Collection 1 by Earthbook

/

lyrics

We hold onto life as we know it, but it's contained confined to the walls of our bodies and blocked by our brains. We only know stories we're in. We can't read unless we take the time to study other scars; to feel pain that isn't ours. We can't see out of our cloudy white eyes; the colors are muddied. We live and we die. No one's too young to be carried in bed, to relax their lungs and lay down their sweet head. Selfish standards: "We have one life to live." Comparisons look from bottom to lid. It's a long way down, can't comprehend what's below. It's easier to look away than behold that some fight to live and some wish to die, medications are taken/forsaken in stride, some hollow their heads, some don't want to go, some live on hope that others will never know.

:To live without a future.
