"Well Played" lyrics

"Well Played"

In a fit I ask myself "Why do I give a shit?"
The option's always there to quit
To flip the script
And go with something new
Embrace the change and rearrange
What's feelin' stale
If varieties the spice of life
A stagnant life's a bitter boring hell
Apathy's a cancer
And adventure is the cure
We're all just temporary specs
Of dust to cast a cosmic lure

We're too impermanent to sit around
And wait for shit to change
So do what makes you happy
'Cause you never know
Today may be the day
That you shed your shell
So leave behind remains
Of a life well lived
And a game well played

May you draw your final breath
Knowin' you lived the life you wanted to
I hope you didn't wait around
Just counting down the days
When you think about it 27000 ain't that many
And that's the average
So we really don't got a ton of time to waste

Take a chance
Go explore
Leave your office
Leave your state
In your mind or on a train
Just want for more than the mundane
'Cause these excruciating patterns
Will dull your creativity
And all that really matters
There's existing and there's living
And I implore you choose the latter

We're too impermanent to sit around
And wait for shit to change
So do what makes you happy
'Cause you never know
Today may be the day
That you shed your shell
So leave behind remains
Of a life well lived
And a game well played

We're too impermanent to sit around
And wait for shit to change
So do what makes you happy
'Cause you never know
Today may be the day

We're too impermanent to sit around
And wait for shit to change

Of a life well lived
And a game well played
