A Curse Of Asphalt

Happiness is simple
Just look ahead and run
There will never be a fall

But you can't choose as you please
You can't stop as you think
Just do as you're told

Is everything the same as what I wanted?
Is everything I want what I longed for?

Ask if the pounding heart
Is beating for me
Stop and ask who I'm living for
It's just an inescapable trap

Where am I heading now?
Is it not me but someone else who's going?
Just a toy wrapped in paper
I have to smile for someone else

Why do we run
In this seemingly cold world
Shake off that suffocating heart
And wake up

Listen to the screaming heart
See if it's beating for me
Stop, it's not too late
Have the courage to break free
