Art of Losing

Just when the world is quiet and all feels right

Beware Lady Fortune spins you out of sight

To an average day in this small town

I push my little girl on the merry-go-round

And practise losing faster

I practise losing farther

I try losing harder

This can’t be hard to master

Turning, turn we turn in vicissitude

Fight the hours, the days of ingratitude

Wish I could exist in some altered mood

Find a mode, the paradigm of older codes

And practise losing faster

I practise losing farther

Try to let go harder

Don’t let this be your master

‘Cause even when you think

You’ve got the things you think you want

Even though I’ve got it all -

The things I love and more to come !

Highs and lows, no ebb and flow,

There’s no equilibrium

I’m like Icarus, melting in the sun

People, they’re always talking about selfcare

I’m too busy feeling I’ve failed to dare

Living life as a ceaseless prayer

Oh to dwell in a celestial sphere

I think I’m losing faster

Try losing harder

This isn’t hard to master

If I practise losing harder

Watch it falling faster

It won’t bring disaster

This life can’t be

It can’t be too hard

Can’t be hard to master
