The Eternal Sigh
The Eternal Sigh
I feel like my life is an exercise in futility
I'm just going to die anyway
Whoever will remember me
After my children's children pass away?
Perhaps it is better off
That time erase the stains it makes
Not that it even matters
The kids won't learn from your mistakes
No one cares if you grow old
Life is learning of your defeat
Continuing, while containing the cold
The past is doomed to repeat
