I feel like I’m jumping from fire to fire.
No not pot to fire,
Yeah, I mean fire to fire.
My life is like a journey,
and every now and then I stop walking,
I turn around and scratch my head, confused,
“Hey, wasn’t I in this same spot earlier”

In primary school I couldn’t wait till the next stage,
In secondary school, the same thing,
Now I’m in college and I just want to graduate.
When they say “look at the bigger picture,”
Do they really have any idea what sense that makes?

I sound cynical, I know.
But here, have a seat,
Let’s really talk this through.
I feel like I’ve been living my whole life trying to escape from one moment,
Only to get stuck in the next.
I feel like I’ve been running, running with hope pummeling through my veins,
Only to end up in a similar situation.

I don’t know what to do.
There really is no true escape,
There really is no perfect life.
And the “bigger picture” I was taught about might not truly exist.
Thats disheartening,
That’s weird,

That’s odd,
Simply put; frustrating
I think the worst part is that no one wants to truly accept;
That they can’t keep living their lives like some cheap game,
Where the only point is to get to the next level.

I’m not saying aspirations are bad,
Or that dreams don’t come true,
But has it ever occured to any of you that you’re jumping from fire to fire?
I think the point of life is to savour the good parts,
And to learn and observe from the bad.

Not to live each moment in anticipation of the future, without stopping to acknowledge right now.
Because before you know it it’ll all be over and you only get one chance.
So why not stop, change,
And live in the moment.
Instead of jumping from fire to fire.
