I mapped out life with a great strategy

Then followed the wrong path

The prime beautiful tragedy

Drown the sorrows with a laugh

I rose to great things

And climbed to the apex

Crashed and burned

I obtained whatever I wanted
Now broken, ruined and twisted
Sitting lonely
Wondering how I missed it
The right path of my strategy
Would have missed the Beautiful Tragedy

There is really only one.
We live the same life
And have for generations.
We are an echo.
We stay
