Lyrics
The simple fact is that we're all gonna die
The undeniable truth is that everyone will eventually face death.
It's an illusion that we have so much time
Time is limited, and the perception of having ample time is an illusion.
Every second of the day, we piss it away
We waste every moment of the day without realizing its value.
Lose sight of our future just to live for today
Often, we neglect our future for the sake of immediate pleasures.
You and I, within seconds of death
Both you and I are constantly approaching the possibility of death.
Ignore suffering if it's not on our plate
We tend to ignore suffering unless it directly affects us.
One of these days that pain will be right in our face
Someday, the pain we avoid will confront us directly.
