Do you really care

Not so clear as I once thought..
sand and water.. as they are
this place is pulling me deeper, sun burning my eyes
standing still, going blind
still fighting with my mind
wanting to climb closer to the light
warmth.. it stares at me
this life.. just wishing I could feel
see the source.. the seed from which all this formed
there used to be.. sense of wonder
when we looked up, when it was dark, in the night
we used to think about..
all the secrets in this life, well hidden
no, we have stopped now
No more.

Are things as clear as we think..
they say nothing's new under the sun
led me to believe so many things..
trying to tell me.. tell me

I hope, I could find a way..
So many things to be changed.
Restless hands, trying to achieve
running still..
don't they know..
can't they open their eyes, just once
see, All these lies
empty moments, time, from my life, wasted away
makes me want to run
will you come with me?
or are you..
too lost in this land

The truth is buried deep
No real answers, don't let them make you believe
I tried.. to make sense of this all, so long.. don't just go on
it never ends..
look where we have come
old people hiding their tears, alone behind all those walls
abandoned... children
people.. enchanted by all these creations
life we used to feel and see
changed into something absurd
we say so much... and we do..
we want to save
but can we really help

I still try
like you do.. too
but is this all equal to none
blindness spread so wide
let the waves wash your feet
and move you away
smile towards the sun
life just might look good

Will you ever see..
does it matter if i try
i ask you.. does it matter

and I am here..
like you are there, too..
but do you really care

then again..
I could be wrong
Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
