Why?

I sometimes sit down in my bed and wonder
What is the reason for we still believe
In things we know for sure won’t ever happen,
In dreams and images our minds every day give?

I wonder why this world is full of anger,
Of hate and death and ignorance and lies...
I cannot understand what is the matter
That makes them careless, heartless and unwise

Today you cannot feel the air of freedom,
You cannot live in peace and harmony,
You’re slowly dragged under the wheel of shadows
And you forget who you’re supposed to be

Till your last day on Earth you’re unforgiven,
Forgettable, ephemeral like dreams...
The restless soul will find its way to shadows,
You cannot fight against, it’s time who wins

Why do we think we’re happy when we’re sad?
There are only illusions in our mind...
Why do we still believe it’s not that bad
When what we’re searching for we’ll never find?

Hiding ourselves behind appearances and words
We cannot speak the truth, we cannot fight
Blinded by veils of lies and fields of blood
We are afraid to search and find the light...

What is the goal we’re all trying to reach?
Where are we heading to, deeper and fast?
Why is this life a chaos and a mess?
Why do we have to choose, why nothing lasts?...
