The Life Expectancy of a Moment Lyrics

We emerge every morning

Placed into the unknown

Maintaining this balance

Straddling the confines in our zones

Can be challenging and debilitating

Is life a cruel futile joke?

What is the life expectancy of a moment?

Who depends on you?

What's expected of you?

Wading through all the pain and the heartache

Maneuvering through

The confines and sticky webbing of existence

The mindful spiral carries on indefinitely

Within the confines of our bodies

Bound by Earthly limitations

I'm asking you do you enjoy playing along?

We are displaced in space

And expected to navigate

Through these wicked times of petty nonsense

I'm asking you how many lessons learned are enough?

What is the life expectancy of a moment?

Who depends on you?

What's expected of you?

When will all the pain and the heartache cease?

Maneuvering through the confines of existence

Stumbling into life's boundaries

What is our net purpose?

What needs have to be met?

Is there an end game?

We will falter

I wonder how we will be taken asunder

What is the life expectancy of a moment?

When will all the pain and the heartache cease?

Take me down underground

To a place with no sound

A chance to wash ourselves

From the stains of irrationality

Immoral deeds have been done

And still will be done

In a never-ending whirlwind of manufactured creations
