The Cycle

Staring down the fate I paved
Looking back at choices made
the devil's here to claim his pay
ain't a penny to my goddamn name

The cycle's hell to break
But a steady job keeps bills at bay
Ain't life more than debts and pain
Beauty forced to an early grave

To want something more is that too much to ask?
Are the best years slipped from my grasp?
You can't lose a life, that ain't been found
