"It's round," says Columbus
What is the point?
The world is round.
There is no point.
I can only be round.
You all see my smile,
You all see me white.
But behind my sunlit style,
All I see is night.
Oh, why do I try?
Are there winners in the end?
I'm filled with all these why's
That will never be found.
They say I never sorrow,
Though they see me in the light
Don't ask me what's tomorrow,
For you'll only just ignite
A flame inside me wonders
How we got here, where we'll go.
But when I hear the thunder,
I look away in woe.
Such effort is put in,
We all just die in the end.
There is no point
Living in a world that is round.
