My, My, My

My, my, my, look how the time slides
This life could pass you by in the blink of an eye
It's like, before you know it, you get tired
And you wish were a child listening to crickets, catching fireflies
In the twilight of a July night. I heave a giant sigh
Because I'm tryna find Zion but I'm lost in Babylon
With as much hindsight as three blind mice with sunglasses on
Why do we try to lie? Why did we have to fall?
When will we finally realize that we're not trapped at all?
We all just let our moments pass instead of capturing them
When we get older when we look back on 'em and sadly miss them
We need to see that we're all are actors in this Floating Opera
Before we're on the River Styx with dollars under our tongues
That's why I'll never say goodnight in the middle of a fight
Because if we die we'll never get to say goodbye

My, my, my, look how this story goes.
This life could pass you right by before you know it
You're looking back along the path that you been walking on
Wishing you could retract those couple steps you stumbled for
We got regrets but we'll never judge ourselves
What's done is done. We don't wonder if we'll go to Hell
We ended up with nothing left to give each other but our love
And we all struggle for money so our love's for sale
We paid to be kept captive in these crummy dungeons
Minimum wage is not enough, they get our stomachs hungry
We know we stuck in this rat race but just keep running
Feeling like a bunch of crabs in this ugly bucket
Yeah, it's real bleak, and we feel weak
But every time I get depressed I know I gotta smile, because
We might not have our freedom, but at least we all are breathing
And we know at any second that we all could die
My, my, my, how will this all end?
I'm asking myself, where are my lost friends?
I wander through Hell looking for God's land
Running from the boss man, damn near starving
I been haunted by ghosts and monsters
But I shut 'em out. Nobody's flawless
Now I go slow, one foot in front of the other
I've been stumbling for so long I need to build with somebody
I need to write about something healthy and fully uplifting
I think I'm done being angry. I want to sing something pretty
We know that life is so short, we must remember to pause
I know that I struggle hard, too young to be overworked
I'm feeling backed in a corner - so I pack up and run
Back to my father and mother, cause family's all that we got
Look at the beautiful sunset, and when the sun rise
Thank God that we got breath. I love life
