[Verse]
What is life but a flicker
A flame
A runaway train with no name
It twists
It turns
It breaks the frame
Who’s holding the reins?
[Chorus]
What is life
Tell me
Tell me
A shadow chasing light so deadly
Round and round
It spins so steady
What is life
What is life?
[Verse 2]
A question mark hung in the sky
A whisper that won’t say goodbye
We laugh
We cry
We live
We die
But who decides why?
[Prechorus]
Echoes scream through the night
Answers hide
Out of sight
[Chorus]
What is life
Tell me
Tell me
A shadow chasing light so deadly
Round and round
It spins so steady
What is life
What is life?
[Bridge]
Is it a puzzle with missing pieces
A clock that ticks but never ceases
A joke we laugh at till it freezes
What is life
Oh what is life?
