lyrics
There's no such thing as a place that's safe from death.
Life has a taste for flesh.
Insatiable, till we've paid in full our debts, laid to rest.
So we place our bets and make the best of the day.
Knowing that blessings, stresses, exceptions and lessons await.
Seconds away from the unexpected expectations.
The next steps taken en route to our destinations.
Breakdowns, restorations related and balanced.
Patience, anxiousness, anger, solace when faced with a challenge.
Whatever's placed on our plate or palette makes what we become.
Under the thunder, rain, moonshine and cover of sun.
Covered in blood, wiped clean and repeated again.
The seasons end, as do friendships for which we'd once bleed to defend.
All the meaningless trends feeding our feverish heads.
We're in the deep end, but trying to reach the peak and ascend.
Breathe in and cleanse.
Replenish the mind, body and spirit in the sense of what keeps us alive and striving.
With tides arising and the skies aligning, here we are in the middle, little specks in the wind.
Selfish to think we were blessed with a gift.
Death in the distance.
Destined to live.
We're helpless, but sheltered enough to not think we're just specks in the wind.
Selfish to think we were blessed with a gift.
Death in the distance.
Destined to live.
