Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure, a pleasure that'll take my mind off the realities of my life, my past life... life as I know it now. And whatever may come, it slowly disappears to somewhere in the back of my mind. It will remain there, until I wish to retrieve it. Yes, I will stay here for a while, for I need the break. A break from the pressures of life, and everything that lays in the palm of life's hands...life's hands. This moment's incredible. It's out of this world. Too bad I must always leave it... ... that's life. ... that's life. ... that's life. ... that's life. ...SHIFT! ...SHIFT! ...SHIFT! ...SHIFT! ...SHIFT!
