by Sze-Leng Tan
Your fucked-up life, man. Hey, ain’t’ya shameful?
One life and it’s mine. Wanna have some spice?
When will you finally become useful?
I feel, I peel, I cry, I fly, I rise…
We’ve been young. We’ve been old. Passing old souls
Ride on and we ride on, we ride, keep on
We’ve been hurt, we’ve been loved. A roadless road
Write on, don’t stop, we just have to write on
We’ve been right. We’ve been wrong. A coaster roll.
And right on, we are, hell, we’ve been right on
We’ve been hurt, we’ve been loved. A roadless road
Write on, don’t stop, we just have to write on
Will you end your idleness and get right?
I live, I tell, I sink, I sing, I write
