Why are you...
Watching, waiting
listening
to what's next
Hurrying, planning
ignoring
all that is life

judging, measuring
cursing
future events
Wanting, lusting
discovering
life's ease

Forgetting, obtaining
creating
easy methods
concerning, jesting
hurting
everything around

seeing
but unknowing
the broken man
hearing
but ignoring
the cry for help

Becoming, uprising
achieving
what you are
seeking, craving
loving
forgot the words

believing, earning
deciding
on the unknown
building, uncovering
Yearning
the old passages

Touching
but not grasping
our ideas
Crying
can't understand
why it's you
