This is only the first page of a journey
The new beginning of a disappointing tragedy
The laughter of children, and the grunts of old men
Taking it all in, I breathe a sigh of relief
We’re alone because we were born alone
And we cry because we have to cry
Another’s hands only postpone the pain
Our smiles are fake because the world we live in is-
I suppose I could tell you all about it,
But that’s a story for another day
A morning’s falling snow
Aha, it was so cold
I remember feeling so depressed that morning,
You were much too kind to me.
To me, you were the spring and-
But that’s a story for another day
We’re weak because we choose to be
Our bones are so brittle
Songs of happiness only exist to cover up sadness
Oh, how transparent we are
How sad it made me feel to live in world like this!
But that’s a story for another day
Nothing matters anymore, nothing at all.
Not your tears,
Or laughter
Even the bravest of us succumb to unhappiness,
So there’s no need to apologize for such a thing
Excitable chatter,
And hoarse voices talking about the future
If you apologize for such a thing I’ll-
We’re sad because we choose to be
And the summer’s end weighs heavy on our hearts
Unfortunately, that wasn’t where I met my end
How sad and how miserable I was,
Thinking myself to be-
I suppose I could tell you all about it now,
But that’s a story for another day.”
Like how you use repetition on this and Miracle on the Road, it really enforces the theme.
