The Lie of Life
Men are props on the stage of life.
These are the roots of our world.
No matter how tender, how exquisite a lie will remain a lie.
Life is brilliant. Beautiful.
It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
Men are props on the stage of life.
Peace grants men the illusion of life.
Knowing this, do you still desire peace?
No matter how tender, how exquisite a lie will remain a lie.
Shackled by falsehoods unaware of its grand illusion.
How you grapple with this dreadfully twisted world.
Men are props on the stage of life.
All men trust fully the illusion of life.
What drives you so, to overcome this supposed curse?
No matter how tender, how exquisite a lie will remain a lie.
What is it that you seek?
You cannot even say yourself.
Men are props on the stage of life.
No matter how tender, how exquisite a lie will remain a lie.
"When the world goes mad, one must accept madness as sanity; since sanity is, in the last analysis, nothing but the madness on which the whole world happens to agree."
