The Life We Lie For

There’s the life that we long for

               And there’s the life that we lead

For one of them we dream

               For the other one we bleed

Our youth and time, our love and lust

               Out on wind-swept, barren, rocky dust

From when we’re born to when we die

               Deluding ourselves with artful lie

Of whom we are and what we’ve done

               Of challenges met, and successes won
