lyrics

(Life: The condition that distinguishes animals and plant from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity and continual change preceding...death)
Trapped, trapped inside
Trapped, trapped in life
Harry Treamill tries
To prosper and to fight
And it’s hard, it’s hard it won’ go by
it’s hard, it’s hard to live to die
And one’s it’s gone, you’re safe within
You’re free from fights but cannot win
And Harry Treamill doesn’t run
To the sun…
And it’s gloomy and undone…

He breaths, he breaths, but does not heal
No longer captive, but never free
He kneels, he kneels, but doesn’t flee
Not officially captive, but never free
And he’s patient and waits, but he never escapes
He patient and waits, but never gets paid
The fight of a lifetime, you can give up or pray
Definition of fate, you will never escape

He breaths, he breaths, and sometimes heals
Believes, believes, and gets deceived
A legend of freedom, don’t never believe
To live is to fight and to never find peace
And Harry Treadmill, is patient and waits
And Harry Treadmill, will never escape
And Harry Treadmill, is patient and waits
And Harry Treadmill, will never escape

He’s afraid to live, he’s afraid to die but after all he’s glad to be alive
An endless mountain, a top to0 high, I call him Treadmill
And he would not live if he would not feel
He would not love if there was no appeal
Wouldn’t be depressed if all is behind
I call him Treadmill, I call him right

He would not cry if he was not sad
He would not go on if all is bad
He would not stumble if he was conform
And if he fitted, he wouldn’t fall
Sometimes he’s cranky and wishes to die
But after all he’s glad to be alive
A play to play, a fight to fight
I call it Treadmill, you call it life
