we go through life in control
set some goals, make some plans
watch the world kneel before us.
we gather wealth, worship self,
rush around, feigning fun,
trying to be something.
but who are you now? who are you now
when you peel all the layers away?
who are you now? who are you now,
when all you had is washed away?
where do you run when your life seems to be done?
where do you turn when the pages you held now are burned?
there is pain, there is war, all around,
but we try to ignore it.
afraid to age, afraid to die, so we cover with make-up and lies.
