"Ever the inmate of our own chaotic minds. Locked in our prison thinking, pondering; what, where and why?
All those things we 'should' do, all before we die.
We forget to live for the moment, those moments are the best.
Just make sure that you enjoy them, before you're put to rest.
I'm telling no lies, we only have one life.
Live it to the fullest because next time could be game over.
Enjoy it whilst it lasts because there will be no do-over.
I don't want to have regrets because those are just for fools.
Time is more precious than any diamonds, gold or jewels.
Nobody knows the true meaning of life,
But life is full of meaning.
What would be the point in standing; wasting it, screaming.
I don't want to live forever, once is enough.
The time we have is precious, so don't call it's bluff.
You could blink in just one second, and the next thing it's tough!
You had your time, you made your choice so make sure it's enough.
Choose you path wisely, and choose it well.
Death waits for no one, only time will tell.
What life do you want?
Only you can decide.
Strap yourself in and enjoy Life's ride"
