The beep goes off in my head
Somehow appearances are too decieving
The pain written on their faces
I ignore, I don't want to look too close, look too deep.
I might never come out, if I sink too deep
Caring too much is sometimes destructive
Then I cannot be objective, so I tell myself
Then I cannot separate fanciful delusions from reality
So I barricade the walls a little bit more everyday
If I don't feel, then no harm done on any side
But all these calculations fall short always
Because there will always be relentlessness, determination
And sheer stubbornness, or stupidity, I say softly
Because most will say if something is worth fighting for, then let
it be
So there will be those who will beat at those walls until they
crack
And unfortunately there will be that one who will bring them
crumbling down
Without even trying, not fair, absolutely not fair
