Life - Foolish

I foresee my mind cracking Under the pressures of life's attack I see my body breaking When I have no strength for fighting back Sometimes I ask if living Is really worth the craic When life is sleep and working Who's the fool who lives for that? Sometimes I hate the world It's people, it's lies and fears Sometimes the thought of living Fills my eyes with tears No matter how hard you try for living Fate pulls you away from your dreams The straight path you plan starts winding Circles appear and reappear Sometimes I long for silence, I long for the still quiet to fill my years I think that life is foolish for the nature of what it is.
