Epitaph

Can’t we all just agree
That nothing in this life is easy
Instead of running around
Sticking words in other people’s open mouths
It’s all that we have
A final declaration of worth on our epitaph
And motivation be damned
Our lives are only castles in the sand

Oh, we all know how it goes
You try to fit into a mold
And hope that nobody will notice your nose
The longer that it grows
And now you’re cutting down that stump despite your face

This life is just a race
But it’s a victory that we will never taste
It’s really such a waste
You’ve only got a little time on the clock to get away

Over and over again
We’re running in a circle in a race that we can’t win
How can we make the cycle end
And find ourselves asleep again

Hey It’s only for the best (For the best)
You wear a weight around your neck
In this contest to win best dressed
It’s all that you can stand to bear
But stay right there
It all will turn out fine

The voices in your mind
Will make everything feel alright
Just open your eyes
Open your eyes

Over and over again
We’re running in a circle in a race that we can’t win
How can we make the cycle end
And find ourselves asleep again

So figure out what you’re gonna do
So you know today
So figure out what you’re gonna do

Over and over again
We’re running in a circle in a race that we can’t win
How can we make the cycle end
And find ourselves asleep again (2x)
