How each of us decidesI’ve never been sureThe part we playThe way we areHow each of us denies any other way in the worldWhy each of us must chooseI’ve never understoodOne special friendOne true loveWhy each of us must lose everyone else in the worldHowever unsureHowever unwiseDay after day play out our livesHowever confusedPretending to know to the endBut this isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lieHow each of us believesI’ve never really knownIn heaven unseen and hell unknownHow each of us dreams to understand anything at allWhy each of us decidesI’ve never been sureThe part we takeThe way we areWhy each of us denies every other way in the worldHowever unsureHowever unwiseDay after day play out our livesHowever confusedPretending to know to the endBut this isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lieThis isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lie
