They call it life
I don't know why
When everything
Will have to die
Not always death
But it will leave
If ever you love
Surely you'll greive
Parent, sibling
Child or friend
Spouse, even pet
It all will end
Whatever you love
Hold dear or cherish
That is chosen
Soon to perish
Life is a liar
Do what you will
Doesn't matter
It has the skill
You can't fight it
Don't try to run
Just wait then watch
It come undone
Not a single shred
To say goodbye
They call it life
I don't know why
