They say that pleasure is a distraction

To avoid confronting a meaningless life

I ask them how is life not a distraction

From peaceful sleep and all things nice

For if we are to die one day, memories all gone

What's the use of all these achievements you set in stone

It doesn't count for nought if you have regret in you bones

A life that isn't enjoyed, is a life not lived

And that's why I feel dead inside, life is so stiff

I know I can't feel every moment like I'm at the top of the cliff

I know I can't afford to enjoy 24/7 if I'm not rich

But the little things I have, I'll pursue them till I stitch

Back my memories of a life not spent in a ditch.
