Cheat Death Lyrics by John Roseboro

Human Nature

0

[Verse 1]
I make it look so easy
It’s just 'cause I know the secrets
I heard you called burnt out
Look up, behold the phoenix
You’re angsty and depressed
I know the situation
A few short-lived pleasures
Followed by annihilation

[Pre-Chorus]
Transient joys are the sweetest
Listless lives are the bleakest
(What have I become?)

[Chorus]
Life is brief
Flicker and die
Life is brief

[Verse 2]
I'll make it up as I go
I’m easy likе the way the wind blows
You silly girls
You poor kids chasing vapors
It’s not a simple thing
It’s quitе hard to be human
But you can make it fun
Once you know what you’re doin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Transient joys are the sweetest
Listless lives are the bleakest
(What have I become?)

[Chorus]
Life is brief
Flicker and die
Life is brief
And you’re still wasting time
