Life is a prison
Stuck in this meat vehicle
We die into it
Suffer
And are born out of it

Like a prisoner
We have to learn how to serve our time
Don’t look forward
Don’t look back
Serve our time
Day by day
Hour by hour
Breath by breath

Don’t expect anything
Accept what we have
Accept where we are
Don’t suffer about our suffering
Serve our sentence
Pay our dues
Until we’re released

It sounds like it’s a bad view
But it’s actually not
It’s truth
Seek happiness and you’ll never find it
Be miserable and you’ll suffer more
Accept the truth

Don’t want
Don’t not want
As your body rots around you
Be happy that you’re nearing release
Sleep on the floor
And you’ll never fall out of bed
