Recover from this if it’s humanly possible
‘Cause we’re nothing more
We breathe and we bleed
And we waste our fucking time
A measly eighty years is all we’re given
And we burn them like paper
Lit by hate and greed and self absorption
To those of you who may rise above that:
I envy you.
I am no better than the next or the last
I want to be above this
But to want is still to want
And for us to have is for someone else to be without
And so I say
Let us forget about these vicious precedents
With which we break our backs and our minds
And let us go on existing, governed by nothing
But love.
If not for love we would not exist.
To exist is not to live
But if we do it right
Maybe we’ll be given the chance
Given the chance, maybe we will deliver.
And once we’ve done so, maybe we can live.
