Cassidy Dzoole - Pyramid of Life Lyrics

Dagger to the heart
Silently piercing
As I try
To process what I'm hearing
I knew this day would come
But not so soon
It's paralyzing realizing
Three generations are only two
And now's the time
I'm next in line
In this
Pyramid of life
Where we're always ascending
Pyramid of life
This short but never-ending
Birth and death
Joy and pain
Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same
Age eroded their anger
Leaving warmth and sweetness behind
I know this world I'll enter
Won't be nearly as kind
These figures of my childhood
Who once stood tall and strong
Are figments of my memory
Their presence forever gone
It's like my innocence was buried with them
And now I'm left to transition
In this
Pyramid of life
Where we're always ascending
Pyramid of life
This short but never-ending
Birth and death
Joy and pain
Nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same
Soon I won't count on others
Others will count on me
And it's scary
Because my whole life's
Been defined by dependency
It's like the rug's been pulled from underneath my feet
Like the safety net of relatives is unraveling
And I'll be free-falling
But I know I'll find my footing
Everything will be alright
And I'll flourish and fly
In this
Pyramid of life
Where we're always ascending
Pyramid of life
This short but never-ending
Pyramid of life
Where we're always ascending
Pyramid of life
This short but never-ending
Birth and death
Joy and pain
Nothing ever stays the same
No, nothing ever stays the same
But we'll never grow without change
