Thoughts

Thoughts, they keep knocking on my head
Like a hammer on a nail
As slow and as persistent as a snail
Bothering me again
Sooner or later I'll end up a madman
If that I ain't yet surely I am sad, bad, bald
A tad unlike the lad that one day saw
A world without pain, where we were all the same
Now that I think about it guess I truly was insane
Afraid of death, deaf to the worries of the frightened
Enlightened with the burden that is knowledge
I try to find the courage to mortgage me
And thus engage in a less messed up dream
Shrugging less is an advance
I wonder for how long I will keep over the fence
Reassembling our future as a species
Veni vidi vici
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
Are weak, slowly becoming obsolete
Recklessly refusing to be meek
Swaying in the crisis
Like a leaf floating between kites
Well, don't mind us
The best we could do is a little fuzz
Wasted time you can never get it back
So feast your ears and enjoy while it lasts
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
Are grim, nonetheless we don't hesitate to be
That's what differs us from these freaks
Wearing a smile on their faces
Amazingly their lives are filled with the same disgraces
Don't know if it's stoicism or alienation
Whatever it is, it's messing up our generation
Or maybe these are just confessions of mine
Unimpressed with depression's pressure
May death slowly let me melt
