If Only

Behind the scenes
Not just listening
But thinking about life
Or lack thereof
It takes time
Says the clock
Made by man’s
Material love
Oh, like a drug

Thanks for all the empathy
Even if it seems
That I’m drowning
In my apathy
With our somber company
We could absolve all misery
No more lonely
If only
If only
There’s no such thing as a happy end
Because we’ve all got to die

Oceanian scream
No one’s been listening
Still living this life
With everyone blind and deaf
The media’s been calculating
What’s been proliferating
This is what to buy
A painless death
Oh, not yet

Thanks for all the empathy
Even if it seems
That I’m drowning
In my apathy
With our somber company
We could absolve all misery
No more lonely
If only
If only
Will this finally be my happy end?
Because I’m not afraid to die
