Which life did you lose? (Carnival Crave)

(Verse) You told yourself it’s just this one, A little bend before the day is done, Nothing lost, nothing broken yet, Just a small thing, easy to forget. The morning came, the same as before, You didn’t notice what you’re settling for, A gentle trade, a quiet little give, Just a softer way to live (Pre-Chorus) And somewhere in the middle of it all, You heard a sound, too quiet to call, Not a warning, not a weight, Just something leaving through the gate. You felt it go, but let it pass, Told yourself that nothing lasts, Still standing, still the same you’d say — But less than who you were yesterday (Chorus) It's a beautiful sight, it’s a beautiful life, Full of wonder in a mystery box, With craving at your side and dignity as your personal time, Clashing with your modest self, while your darker side chats behind your back It’s a hateful life, if you let it be, When your sluggish soul pulls you down, Your energy fades, your balance decays, While your generous self slowly drowns, You could be kind, with a touch of charity, And overlook your purity, Or yearning for a feast in skin and bone And the mystery held it all the same, Where life just watched it all — ‘Cause I didn’t ruin your life. didn’t make it pretty. I said it soft, with an undertone ’Cause I didn’t choose—so which life did you lose? It’s just this once
