The chase
I am all left out
I am all alone in this room
But the chase isn't over yet.
I am all left out
I am all alone in this room
But the chase isn't over yet.
No one seems to understand me. Hey, in case you don't know. I have feelings.
Why do I have this feeling that I am chasing the last train?
Growth is the only evidence of life. ~John Henry Newman, Apologia pro vita sua, 1864
Happiness is a trap
Don't we all want to be happy?
to want some more
to long for things we dreamed of
to get what we want
When we get the things we want
Does it mean we find our happiness already?
Is that the end?
Happiness is a trap
Because we are not really happy
we always want more
it's human nature
"Man has no satisfaction"
We are not contented
happiness is a desire
it's an unending desire
once we get the things we want
or fulfill the dreams we have been dreaming for a long time
then we want other things
are we really happy when we utter the words "I am happy"
Yes, happiness is a trap.
Love has its beginning and ending
Some stories end up so happily
Sadly, mine ended up in tears
But the pain shall be drifted away
You said goodbye, when my heart was ready to let go
You said goodbye, And I haven't said "hold on, baby"
You said goodbye, my heart and my mind didn't refuse
You said goodbye, Oh baby, you said goodbye, goodbye
Babe, you said from the very start
That you and me shall never part
But our love has come to an end
Our promises have been broken
You said goodbye, when my heart was ready to let go
You said goodbye, And I haven't said "hold on, baby"
You said goodbye, my heart and my mind didn't refuse
You said goodbye, Oh baby, you said goodbye, goodbye
It's about to rain
but I prayed to God, He wouldn't let it pour
because this raining makes me insane
it stings down to my core
Life is such a crazy thing
Good things can happen
Bad things shall be coming
But still, I am afraid of the rain.
The dawn has bade goodbye
The sun has finally come out
another day, another day
of chasing the fire flies that fly by day
I shall keep dreaming on,
Will put the lights on
to stop feeling so alone
in this room full of retrospection.
