The Path of Melancholy

Another grey day, surrounded by darkness Even if the sun is shining, it is cold and bleak People are walking around without a goal, just senselessly They don't look into each other's faces, they don't speak Trees can't breathe anymore, animals are disappearing Children remain children, they don't grow up No love is given, just sorrow will be found I hope that it will be better someday, so I carry the pain Some people believe in different kind of gods Some people believe in miracles, signs, heaven and hell Some people believe in sin, goodness and the bible But nobody asks for meaning or reason Other ones believe in humanity, but they don't understand it Some people believe in money and fame, but they don't need them Some people believe in art, science, love and heroism But who appreciate this nowadays? And while I'm writing this, I'm dreaming of being another person I keep on crying and keep on blaming someone else But it's me who's causing all the problems I try just to live like I am, but people don't accept me I don't wanna change, but I don't have a choice I just don't want to be ignored anymore I want to be a part of this world I can't run away anymore; I wish I could tell them what I think But they wouldn't listen to me Some people seem to hate me, but why? Are they envious? Are they afraid of their self-confidence? Do they need to humiliate someone to become happy? If this is true, it's a very sad world People look at me, they are laughing behind my back Wrong stories, wrong assumptions, they don't know me But they are too tired to search for the truth And my sorrow will go on It always hurts the people who've done nothing bad Maybe I'll find my destiny on the path of melancholy All the sadness and madness will be collected there Maybe I find the answers to my questions there It's a long and hard way, but I have to reach it Day after day I'm getting nearer It's the only way to find myself becoming happy Maybe one day I could wake up with a smile on the face Maybe one day other people would really love me And while I'm writing this, I'm searching for the path of melancholy I keep on crying and keep on blaming someone else But it's me who's causing all the problems I try just to live like I am, but people don't accept me I don't wanna change, but I don't have a choice I just don't want to be ignored anymore I want to be a part of this world I can't run away anymore; I wish I could tell them what I think But they wouldn't listen to me I crossed a lake of tears, filled with tears of sad people They walk around, nobody wants to help them How many times must someone cry, before other ones will listen? How could he fill a whole lake with his tears without being noticed? I finally reached the path of melancholy, it's dark and quiet A lonely road leads into an endless forest Without any human soul around The sky is getting scarier and scarier, but I can't back anymore Now I have to face the truth deep inside of us all I entered the forest People were hanging from their gallows on the trees Here lie all the shattered illusions of this mad world People thought they would make it, they would become something better But they realised there is no hope, suicide became their saviour Some people tried to escape from the torment They fled into each other's arms So love was found and joy was born But people died with a broken heart And their bodies lay on the dirty ground below the autumn storm And while I'm writing this I'm traveling along the path of melancholy I keep on crying and keep on blaming someone else But it's me who's causing all the problems I try just to live like I am, but people don't accept me I don't wanna change, but I don't have a choice I just don't want to be ignored anymore I want to be a part of this world I can't run away anymore; I wish I could tell them what I think But they wouldn't listen to me And while I'm writing this I'm traveling along the path of melancholy I keep on crying and keep on blaming someone else But it's me who's causing all the problems I try just to live like I am, but people don't accept me I don't wanna change, but I don't have a choice I just don't want to be ignored anymore I want to be a part of this world I can't run away anymore; I wish I could tell them what I think But they wouldn't listen to me
