Life as it is

Life is useless from beginning to end
With spasms and pain it begins
With pain and spasms it ends
Nothing more than a hot flash
in cold, cold world
Life is useless from beginning to end
Let us save our breath
For what is breath after all
But the beginning and the end
For breath delivers our first cry
And steals our last word
Life is useless from beginning to end
I can't move or feel my body
I don't remember a single thing
What am I doing in this place
I can't remember how I got here
Or the reason that I came
Am I alone once again
Where has everyone gone
Was anyone here at all
What is the message
Do I react or pretend
Life is useless from beginning to end
