May I dance with you

By Asouldivided

Tell me why I still play with the fire
After all these scars and burns
Cause I can’t learn as fast as they do

Tell me why this ape is laughthing down his tree
After all these years of progress
Cause we are crawling in the mud

Tell me why this tree is bleeding
After it lived and learned so long
Cause we are afraid of knowing

Tell me why we should be proud
After all these straight lines of man
Beating the weak hearts
Outcastin the others
They are their only love and fall


Cause there are people just like you
Dancing in the trees with sticks
Dancing till the world collapses
With just a smile for destiny
