Foolish Bliss
We think we create our own bliss;
But it's all just foolishness;
We take every chance we get;
Just to make another wish.
We put up towering walls;
And create codes of laws;
But it will all come crashing down;
Because everything always falls.
There's nothing to stop the dawn;
It would take too long;
The beginning of a new day;
Where all our cities are gone.
We hide behind a facade;
While the options are weighed;
We hide in citadels;
While the decisions are made.
The choices are made for us;
We never make a fuss;
What freedom we do have;
A people that always distrusts.
We push each other down;
To increase our renown;
We encourage division;
Always competing for the crown.
We think we create our own bliss;
But it's all just foolishness;
We take every chance we get;
Just to make another wish.
