I try to make sense of what's going on in this thing we call life
But false misconceptions lead me to a road of pain
I try to understand what happens
But could never find the answer
Maybe pain is just a lack of understanding?
But quite frankly, I find joy in the pursuit of happiness
But I know I’ll never find it
It's like a dream
Life asked death
Why do some many people love me, but hate you?
And death responded with "Because you’re a beautiful lie and I'm the ugly truth".
I try to make sense of what's going on in this thing we call life
The pain and adversity I face
Just to fall up short again
I look to the left nothing is right
I look to my right and nothing is left
So, tell me what do I do?
How am I supposed to live,
Knowing this cycle of uncertainty will continue
And mankind will forever suffer?
Unfortunately, this is called life and we live just to die curious and never truly satisfied.
