The Art of Life lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I asked him
He described a thousand lifetimes
At each turn, a hint of what one still must learn
Now I've read the thoughts of philosophers
The words of liars, who say that underneath I'm worthless, incomplete

[Chorus]
Someone said, someone said
Someone said we live our lives in between
Is the art of life discipline?
What is the art of life? (Discipline)
Is that the sweet mystery?

[Post-Chorus 1]
The art of life is
Without rushing, without faltering, we push it
Push it as far as we can
I can feel it...

[Verse 2]
Observe with patience, free your mind
Efficiency, control
To develop the form starts with acceptance
Then submission to the goal
[Chorus]
Someone said, someone said
Someone said we live our lives in between
In between the extremes
Is the art of life discipline? (Can you tell me?)
Is that the sweet mystery?

[Post-Chorus 2]
The art of life is
Without rushing, without faltering, we go as far as we can
As far as we can

[Bridge]
Yeah, I can feel it
Discipline
Discipline
Discipline
Discipline

[Chorus]
Someone said, someone said
Someone said we live our lives in between
In between the extremes
Is the art of life discipline? (What is the art of life?) (Discipline)
(Can you tell me?) (Discipline)
Is that the sweet mystery?
[Post-Chorus 3]
The art of life is, we got that right
Without rushing, without faltering, unraveling the secrets of knowledge
We must challenge and defeat our four natural enemies
Fear, clarity, power and the desire to rest
