Here We Are
Perhaps,
we're both doomed
or we're rather blind -
We were bound to abide
by our own rules;
And yet here we are,
chasing trends from fools
who have westernized their love -:
Our roots were meant to guide
us through the ocean of life
so we don't drown by ourselves;
but we chose to lead ourselves,
And here we are;
with our hearts ripped apart
and our minds slowly dozing off
from pills that were meant to bring
us back to life -:
Our midnight prayers
are flooded with tears;
We barely can sleep,
so we wake God from
His own sleep -
If He didn't sleep
maybe the world
would be at peace by now,
isn't it?
While others pray for wealth,
others pray for their wealth;
then there are those hoping death
comes to their rescue -
If this is life,
then I urge God
to tie my destiny
to a barren;
Oh Well -:
