Mitchell Ryan Hagen 1992 (Vancouver)
The answers in life are just to hard to find.
Make a wild guess or be left behind.
Or sit and overthink and slowly destroy your mind.
Why must these answers always be so hard?
Why must I put up these walls and always be on guard?
The answers in life are just to hard to find.
It would seem in most situations that I'm blind,
Yet here I stand, to always be so kind.
Why must I endure when it's so easy to quit?
Why must I try, when they dont give a shit?
The answers in life are just to hard to find.
Every day a new struggle, every day a new grind.
Every day a new promise, a new contract to sign.
Why must I be a slave to a system that doesn't care?
Why must I commit to living? It just doesn't seem fair.
The answers in life are just to hard to find.
When I make a mistake, and be left in a bind,
I wish I could take a step back, and just press rewind.
These questions I feel will never have an answer,
But all these thoughts will just keep spreading like cancer.
