You must think life goes on forever   The way you bide your time   The way you talk too much   The way you stop trying      You believe life goes on forever   The way that the sun sets   The way you feed the fear   The way that you regress      Life after life goes on until it bores you to a death   Even more frightening than being alive   You pretend life goes on forever and a day wasting away      You must think life goes on forever   The way you let it slip away   The way you hide the way you feel   The way you don't feel what you say      Life after life goes on down the road you've walked before   Catering to the complacent habit forming insecure   May the circle be unbroken   By and by Lord   By and by      You must think life goes on forever   The way you stay the very same   Life forever pass it on won't you tell your friends   To keep running to the future   While running from the end
