Paradoxical Mind

Mess within leads to a simple desire

Denied by reality whose power is higher

Silence is all I wish for

Never when it comes from your mouth though

Irony, however, doesn't feel like taking a break

And as you make no sound

Everything seems to remain loud

I guess that's what it comes of

Trying to manipulate the odds

Life is nothing but an eletronic device

It gives you a remote with no batteries inside

turning your beliefs into the illusion of control

And yet malfunctioning ten times in a row

Why is it that the only thing that truly matters

Is so out of reach, I'll never get better

What drives me crazy is the possibility

That this love is only a liability

Psychologically manufactured by the fact

I'll never desmantle your indifferent act

How inconvenient is the human mind

Always searching for what it could never find...

None of us can, unfortunately...or not. Maybe it's actually a hidden gift to mankind the presence of things that cannot be changed according to one's wishes. Thank you, by the way.
