Tedium Vitae

[Valanne, Jarva et al.]

I'm not here looking for HAPPINESS

I can do well enough WITHOUT

Everything I need from this LIFE.

Just one tiny lil' bit of PEACE and QUIET

Nothing GLORIOUS about it

Nothing to CELEBRATE or BOAST

I don't remember when I first stopped CARING...

I don't mind. I just take it as it COMES

I'm afraid it is more than just a PHASE

And I feel it is not a PASSING thing

It's been right there ENCODED INSIDE me

Since the day that I LANDED on this EARTH!

Nothing GLORIOUS about it

And nothing to CELEBRATE or BOAST

I don't remember when I first stopped CARING

But I don't mind. I GO with the FLOW
