pain

Why do people have children
Is it a once-in-a-lifetime gamble
If so, is it a parent's duty to raise a child
Mean-spirited, hundreds, thousands, millions of lifespans

People who live for someone else
People who live for themselves
'The weight you carry is different from mine'
You, burdened, tell me

Tonight we split the bill
But someday the pain will be endured alone
The hand writing cruel lyrics
Is searching for you again

I was wrong, I misunderstood
The reason my heart aches, it wasn't that
Sadness shakes hands with us
Friction crushes us without trouble
Happy stains lead us to further suffering
Inviting

An unsuccessful artist spits out
'This is art,' 'Don't complain'
I don't need anyone's limits
His self-centered ego envelops him

Dreams are big, no goals
Big mouth, small capacity
'What should I do?' he spits out
Unaware of doing nothing

I was wrong, I misunderstood
The reason my heart aches, it wasn't that
Sadness shakes hands with us
Friction crushes us without trouble
Happy stains lead us to further suffering
Inviting

I was wrong, I misunderstood
The reason my heart aches, it wasn't that
Sadness shakes hands with us
Friction crushes us without trouble
Happy stains lead us to further suffering
Inviting
