Don’t build my head up and build my heart up, too
Please, remember, I want to live-
Don’t send them crashing through
I once found living a way of making a journey
Then, in came chaos and I prayed for some mercy
If my lesson’s just to grow
Then why am I losing treasures?
If knowledge is to deepen
Then why must I choose my pleasures?
Must I die to live and live to die-
All for the sake of a higher mind?
What about “me” makes “me” so “important”
If I cannot live for the way that I’m searching?
Can love be taught by a hateful heart?
Should mercy be given, just to bind it up?
If “this” is “life”, and we’re all “alone”
Then why are we “fighting”, for a “home unknown”
