English

What is it that people
Have been hanging onto all this time?
Knowing the whole time
That they’re just lies, for show, for the sake of appearance
None of the things we’ve been collecting
Have any meaning
And the reason we’ve bowing to them
Is to protect ourselves

We look like we’re protecting each other
But we all push ahead
Of other people
Even though we say
That we can’t live alone
Why do we want to be happy
When we can’t even find enough things
To share together?

How long have people
Been born like this?
Feelings don’t
Need reason
But how do we feel?
Everyone worries
About whether things are perfect
At the expense of themselves

We want to get away from this life
Of hurting each other
But if anyone tells the truth
Or expresses real kindness
They get hurt
I know all that, but I can only be vague about it
Why should I be happy?

Which rules do we want to follow?
And which ones should we follow?
We’re feeling our way
Looking for a light, still faint
To lead us to tomorrow
I’m allowed to keep running
In my own way
To find the meaning of being born
Let's learn to be happy...?
