I’m in pain and love again, a walking contradiction,
Does it burden me that often, or is it lifting me completely,
Am I cursed to like it still? Am I forced to do it always?
It’s a game, have I forgot? I shall play it anyways.
But is it safe or just pure luck? In this world I am The Gambler.
Whether life plays fair or not, I am cheating anyways.
Never fret, and never fear, since it’s what we’re meant to do.
Is this passion really right, or is it Crime and Punishment?
Am I lifted? Am I light? By myself I cannot be.
Let it run, and like the wind, it will take you on its wings,
Cut its wings and like a myth, Icarus shall be your name.
