The Climb
Spent most of my days
Waiting in line
Mostly for a box made from pine
Climbing the hill
Why doesn't life come in a pill
Day after day
Mostly without pay
Steadily climbining ,
Life, love , reality, always colliding
Working yourself
Dreaming of wealth
Climbing ever higher
Such is desire
Losing all to a blind eye
Giving yourself to the white lie
Tomorrow
sorrow
Beg or borrow
Tears
Fears
The passing of the years
Can feel the rain
Easing the stain
Strain
Lost in among my brain
The mind of madness
Created by great sadness
Climbing forever this hill
Beyond what it means to even feel
Can't get no higher
Lost in the fire
The flame
Of self blame
No escape no matter
Became the Mad hatter
Life's just a show
You must know
No surprise
In life no matter how far you rise
Happiness is just a disguise
Worn by the wise
