What is this life if you're not living it?
Stuck between four walls and an unimaginable perimeter.
The choices you make are not your own
And the way you wish to live is strummed out and played as someone else's song.

What is this life if you're not living it?
Scars tattooed over because you wish to hide,
The pain and the sorrow lived through because of playing
Somebodies guide.
The motion of your lips, tattered by broken skin caused by the anxiety of this life.

What is this life of you're not living it?
Your shadow surpasses you when it should be on your side,
Because the footsteps you follow in are crossed over and turned around in circles.
Too many directions
Too many ways to go,
Yet the path you walk is a choice made by somebody else's soul.

What is this life if you're not living it?
An unsung song that many wish to hear,
But the dreary of your weather deafens their ears.
The lighting comes in but the doors are all shut and the question remains
What is this life if you're not living it?
