life's a joke

you want more love

you want more life

you want validation

you want to make things right

you want success

you want to be a big star

you want to stack that money

you want some of that power

you want to be brave

but you want to live long

you want to be guiltless

when it's all your fault

you want to be awakened

but you want more sleep

you want more passion

but you need relief

with nothing to prove

no one to please

nothing to hide

no one to be

you'll say what you will

life's a joke

it's a game of luck

then time's up

you want to be real

but you want to be raw

you want to feel needed

flaws and all

you want to know yourself

you want to clear head

but you want to get fucked up

and you want respect

you want to fit in

but you want to stand out

you want to trust your body

but you're best without

you want to find your purpose

and know you're right

you want to be a good story

it could end tonight

with nothing to prove

no one to please

nothing to hide

no one to be

you say what you do

life's a joke

it's a game of luck

then time's up
